ARTISTS I ADMIRE & WHY
​

CAROL EVANS

Paintings in this page by Carol Evans.

Picture
Carol Evans is a fine artist and master watercolourist, whose work has achieved international acclaim. Her paintings have been published in three art books. She was born in Vancouver and now lives on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, with her husband.
Picture
The first thing that strikes me about Evans’ paintings, aside from their sheer beauty, is the remarkable atmosphere and incredible emotion of sunlight. When I gaze at a painting of hers, that is exactly how I see the world on a sunny day when I step out of my home-studio — I just love sunlight!
Picture
Along with sunlight, of course, follows contrast and Carol is a master at depicting this as well. I can actually feel the coolness of the shaded areas and the warmth of the sunlight in her paintings.
Picture
And then there are vivid, rich and accurate colours, bursting with life, also a result of strong sunlight. And once more, Evans executes the beauty of colour so well.
Picture
I could go on and on with her plethora of professional skills, but you get the picture — no pun intended — if you’ve already seen her work.

To conclude, when I need a scenic, relaxing and quick vacation, all I need to do is open a Carol Evans art book.
