Musings on art and life. Thursday, March 8, 2012. In my studio I begin a new painting by laying color onto paper, board or canvas. This is my point A. Point B is when I'm standing back and thinking "YES! A friend recently asked me in an email to tell her about my latest painting. Her question made me wonder, does my work contain meaning?

Musings on art and life. Thursday, December 27, 2012. But instead of the swatter, I chose my little bug catcher and was able to box him up and release him into the cold morning. What a good feeling that was. The Winter Solstice is said to be a time for regeneration and renewal. I am renewing my determination to be aware, to be kind and to be grateful.

Carol Beth Icard: hot chocolate
http://carolbethicard.blogspot.com/2013/02/hot-chocolate.html
Musings on art and life. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. My whole life I have been seduced by how one thought leads to another. It doesn't take much to set my mind racing off on a journey as I'm guided to a new awareness. As an artist I continually search for ways to enrich my own art by traveling, visiting museums and art galleries, and reading an ever increasing number of books. In fact, my collection of art related books is a veritable pantry of delicious subjects that often inspire a new inquiry in...

Musings on art and life. Monday, February 23, 2015. Dyed reed baskets - 1980's. Friends who have known me for years sometimes comment on how much my art has evolved over the last few decades. They recall my early excursions into everything from handpainted dolls to baskets and painted gourd vessels. Coupled with my first ever trip to Italy, awakened and exposed my hidden self, sending me on a whole new adventure. We've discussed finding our true voices in paint. Oil and mixed media on board. I wrote that...

http://carolbethicard.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Musings on art and life. Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Compost", oil on panel, framed. I titled this work "Compost." In so many ways I mixed together discarded bits and pieces of color and marks until they became the black gold that helped something new grow strong. Being treated for cancer was compost for this new work even though it wasn't consciously decided. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Refuge, oil and mixed media on board, 36 x 12".

Carol Beth Icard: Art and Color
http://carolbethicard.blogspot.com/2014/03/art-and-color_22.html
Musings on art and life. Saturday, March 22, 2014. My favorite childhood book. Ever since I was a young child and was thrilled by repeated readings of Little Golden Book's The Color Kittens,.

Oil and mixed media. Oil and mixed media. Oil and mixed media. Oil and mixed media. Oil and mixed media. This is truly the power in c...

Carol Beth Icard: earth energy
http://carolbethicard.blogspot.com/2012/05/earth-energy.html
Musings on art and life. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Groggy with remembered dreams I opened my front door this morning and let the silvery trill of a mockingbird invite me into my mossy yard under the old oak tree. This behemoth shelters uncountable squirrels, blue jays and numerous unidentified visitors, so I've been learning to stand under its protective arms and just "be" in my little corner of the world. And what is today for me? What will I save? May 30, 2012 at 10:43 PM. Carol Beth, Id like to feature/l...
