For artist Carol W. Wood, watercolor is a performance medium, and the perfect vehicle for recording life’s most memorable experiences. Carol, a native North Carolinian, who calls both East and the West Coast home, is not only a true painter, but a master of the quick sketch.  This specialized skill was earned from working for over 15 years in Hollywood’s exclusive film industry.  In fact, it was all  those countless hours working with watercolor that developed her unique and spontaneous style of portraying the ordinary in extraordinary ways.  To quote Carol:  “A Watercolor is as personal as handwriting, and I feel my signature comes from the magic in using the right color palette.”  Carol uses a palette of paint infused with pigments from around the world, made here in America by Daniel Smith.  Consequently, Carol paints with some of the finest, most exotic colors; turquoise from the “Sleeping Beauty” mines of Arizona, black Sodalite from Italy’s Mount Vesuvius, as well as olive-hued Tiger’s Eye and brilliant blue Lapis Lazuli from light refracting Gemstones.

With her unending passion for color, and an array of exceptional paints at her fingertips, in this unique book, you’ll recognize how effectively Carol’s work captures moments and light in amazing and magnificent ways!
