Rhythms of the shoreline, the undulating shapes
of dunes, children and woodland subjects - to
artist Carolyn Blish these are images that "call me
to be painted."
Blish also communicates her joy through her art:
"...the important thing is not the painting itself,
but the love with which it is painted." Blish
believes that it is technique that enables an
artist to paint, but that it is love that makes the
painting art.
Blish began painting in the early 1950s and
began exhibiting nationally in 1965. Blish paints
predominantly in watercolor, but she is also
proficient in many other media, including oil,
acrylic and pencil. It is the spontaneous nature
of watercolor, however, with which she is most
enamored: " In watercolors, nature follows its
own course; the artist just helps it along."
