Title: Algonquin Vista
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 15″x22″
Artist: Carolyne Pascoe
Year: 2008

About the painting: This painting was the 2008 winner of Best Landscape Award for the DVAC. Every year I participate in a show in Algonquin Park during October. This painting depicts a scene along the Highway 60 corridor, so typical of the beautiful fall in Algonquin. Many of my paintings are done on location, however this one was painted in the studio with a sketch, photograph and memories of that beautiful day for inspiration.

About the artist: Carolyne Pascoe is primarily a watercolour painter who enjoys painting on location in her many travels throughout Canada, New England and Europe. She also paints abstracts in acrylic and watercolour as well as flowers from her garden at home in her loft studio gallery. She is the immediate Past President of the Toronto Watercolour Society(TWS) and has received numerous awards for her paintings in many shows that she has been juried into throughout Ontario. She holds the honour of  a Silver Level of Distinction-Signature Membership of TWS and is also a member of the Scarborough Art Guild, Markham Group of Artists, Pine Ridge Arts Council, Central Ontario Art Association, East Central Ontario Art Association, Vodka Painters of Canada, and is an associate of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, as well as the DVAC. She has paintings in private and corporate collections in Canada, the USA, a variety of countries in Europe and Asia as well as Australia. On Location Carolyne tries to capture not only the mood of the day, but also her inner feelings towards the beauty of the landscape, sea and town that make it a unique moment in time and  and place.

Painted after experiencing a Sweat Lodge Ceremony.  Near the beginning of the ceremony, everyone’s grandfathers were called upon to hear and aid in whatever we we needed assistance with. The experience  left a deep impression that seemed to open doors to my creativity.
