Q And A with Carol:

Why don't you talk more about your painting process like some artists do? I think it would be interesting.
Thanks for your question!
I know that many artists enjoy discussing their creative process and techniques. And, you're right, it is interesting. However, I don't really like to talk or write about my art that much. I would rather have my art speak for itself. I am also currently working on a murder mystery which takes place at a boarding stable and I guess I throw my writing energy there. HA!  I, of course, will happily answer specific questions that someone may have.

Cherokee, commissioned equine painting by Carol Engles

10 x 14 watercolor and pastel on paper. This is a commissioned piece. Cherokee is a beautiful Paint horse with a striking left blue eye. So much fun to do his portrait.

Rocky Creek, oil pastel painting by Carol Engles

 10 x 14 oil pastel on paper. I plan on doing some more oil pastels this summer. This one is fun I think. Lots of color in a loose style. Oil pastels are very different from soft pastels and though many artist enjoy blending them, I prefer to use them in this way with less blending. Hope you like this piece. It's available for $175 plus shipping, so contact me at: jcengles@verizon.net if you're interested in purchasing.
