Carolyn Grand Paintings

A painter in both watercolour and oil, I love the feel and texture of paper.  While I do larger works in oil on canvas, I enjoy the freedom and speed of painting alla prima in oil on paper.  The archival integrity of these works is retained by sealing the rage paper with gesso and acrylic before beginning the work in oil.

For the last few years I have been concentrating on bringing the joy of childhood and freedom of summer to my work.  Since my beautiful daughters are nearly grown, I want to keep the moments of fun and wonder under glass to savour later.   While I include many different children in my pieces, I don't intend them as portraits, just moments in sunshine.
