Carol Dawson celebrates the natural world around her, painting large, colorful watercolors of flowers and birds that stimulate the viewers’ interest and curiosity. The birds in her paintings look directly at the observer. “I want the viewer to feel the presence of another living organic creature or plant,” she says, “to become more aware. I’m promoting a sense of deep connection.”
In recent paintings she initially set herself the challenge of limiting herself to one pigment “while maintaining the dynamism of movement in what would be ordinarily a group of flowers. I’ve been aiming at abstraction.”
