About the Artist	Paintings	Monotypes

Paint is a plastic substance which Carol Odell uses to create compositions that record her working process. She manipulates the paint with a variety of tools and brushes to create patterns, textures and layers so the viewer can see the choices and decisions she, the painter, has made. This building and layering for her is an expression of growth which means " life". A modicum of planning and structuring does occur, but elements are changeable and discardable if they don't work to achieve the balance she is looking for. For her a painting is finished when there are no more changes to be made. Her choice of media must accommodate her method of working and therefore, she has chosen oil for its variability and slower drying time and gouache or opaque watercolor for the ability to work over areas.
