Carol Young
"Thursday's Smile, " Contemporary Cottage Landscape Painting

2017

About the Item

This mid-sized contemporary landscape painting by Carol Young features a small white house with a warm-toned roof with red underpainting. The roof casts a cool violet shadow over the white structure, which almost glows surrounded by the green grass, foliage, and blue sky. The red underpainting in the house, with the red roof and front steps, creates a warm balance to the coolness of the rest of the painting. The piece is signed by the artist in the lower left-hand corner, and has clean, natural wood sides. It is wired and ready to hang. "This house sits on Peconic Bay Boulevard in Jamesport, New York," the artist says of this piece. "I pass it all the time. This one particular morning (a Thursday), I was on my run and the sunlight was brilliantly hitting the front of the house. It was so warm and sweet that I had to stop and take a photo. It made me smile and feel happy. I wanted to evoke that feeling in this painting." Carol C. Young is a plein air landscape painter as well as a studio artist whose work is primarily identified by a bold use of light and shadow along with iconic depictions of the rural landscape. She tends to select subjects that hold history, particularly gravitating toward those found in American rural landscapes. A fine arts major at the College of New Rochelle, NY, her paintings have won several awards including best in show at the Pequot Library Art show in Connecticut, first place in the acrylic division at the Rowayton Arts Center Brushwork Show in CT, and second place for acrylics/oils at the Mary O. Fritchie Art Show in Westhampton Beach, NY. “My technique is spontaneous," Carol says of her work. "I want to capture the moment in my painting, intrigued by the patterns created by sunlight, shadows and shapes at that time of day."
