Carol Young
Carol Young, "Midday Vermont", 30x30 Colorful Barn Landscape Oil Painting

2020

About the Item

This contemporary landscape painting, “Midday Vermont" by artist Carol Young is a 30x30 original acrylic painting on a natural wood panel. This painting depicts a dark purple and lighter lavender shaded structures with white roofing sitting in a green grassy rural setting with a deep blue sky. Like most of her paintings, this piece showcases bold colors and sharp shadows. Her use of a bright orange underpainting allows the other colors to become more vibrant and saturated. The wood panel sides are clean and natural looking, no framing necessary. The painting is wired and ready to hang. About the artist: “I've always been an artist. At a young age I painted rocks and sold them for a quarter to my neighbors. When I made my first sale, I was hooked. I continued my passion for drawing and illustration throughout my high school years but after graduating from the College of New Rochelle, NY as a fine art major, I became a Graphic Designer and painted as a hobby. Down the road I evolved my career into a Senior Creative Director, and painted on the side. I realized how much I missed my hands on art experience, and in 2013 I became a full time fine artist (and I still design as well). Growing up I fell in love with the landscape of the North Fork of L.I., NY where my family owned a lovely vintage cottage. I marveled at the combination of the sea and the expansive farmlands. I started to realize the appeal that I had for old things - old barns and cottages particularly. I was intrigued by the way the light and shadow played with their interesting peaks and valleys. I also thought about the families that had lived there and worked on the land in the past. I started to paint them and soon became aware of their vulnerability. They were being knocked down and replaced with larger and newer buildings. It saddened me, and I started a quest to paint them in a contemporary fashion, so even the owner of a modern home could embrace the old architecture in some way. I play with a bold palette that is alive with color, pushing the contrast and brilliance. I also enjoy painting the sea with its ever changing skies and motion. I even have a series of animal paintings that show a bit of whimsy. As long as I am painting, I am happy!” Tags: Female Artist, Abstract, Contemporary, Barn, Farm, White, Blue, Purple, Maroon, Green, Orange
