C oming in 2019, Carol will reveal a whole new series called God’s Creatures Great and Small. It is an animal series that will be featured at Avenue West Gallery in downtown Spokane. The first painting in this series is an acrylic called Lioness. “My works include abstract as well as traditional paintings and you never know when I’ll experiment with something else that catches my interest.” Carol also has an interest to explore impasto for future canvases. “I want to incorporate texture into my paintings.” It will be exciting to see if this new element will be part of a mixed media piece. “I don’t have a lot of time left on this earth. I want to have fun.” Fun is definitely captured in all her works. If the dreary winter of 2019 is getting you down, pick up an original Carol Schmauder and find cheer in the bright colors or find hope in the blooming spring landscapes reminding us of all we have to look forward to in this new year. 28 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
