Carol
Volz Begley is an Impressionist Plain Air artist,
whose passion for drawing and painting is vividly
seen in her colorful canvases. Painting outside, with
oils and pastels, enables her to capture the varied
effects of colors in sunlight and shadows. By using
a full palette of rich colors, Carol captures the
mood and subject of her paintings. While, at the same
time, inviting the viewer to look closer at the colors
seen as compared to what is perceived.
Painting on location and working in all kinds of weather
creates peak experiences and a sensual depth to the
paintings. "Feeling the atmosphere and energy surrounding
me are almost as important in the painting process
as the actual subject itself", says the artist. Carol
loves the magical illusion of sunlight and shadows
under the changing weather conditions, and the juxtaposing
of complimentary colors for greater brilliance in
achieving the vibrant character of an Impressionistic
landscape.
