Carol Rosemond paints brief moments of magical light, blazing sunsets, ever-changing moods and seasons, and wild vistas untouched by the hand of man. She paints in the style of photo-realism, using multiple thin layers of oil paint on canvas, “Painting allows me to truly absorb the perfection of nature as I focus on minute detail during the completion of a piece. As an artist, the ultimate challenge is to take such well-explored subjects as landscapes and seascapes, and show them from my own perspective. I am honored that one of my paintings, “Yosemite Reflections,” has been selected to be included in the 2023 de Young Open, a show of work by artists from the nine Bay Area Counties, from 9/30/23 to 1/7/24. Works by 883 artists were chosen from 7,766 entries, of which 12 are from Napa County.
