"Autumn Afternoon" by Carol Novotne

Novotne has said, "I love in a world of light and texture. I live in a world of movement, of prisms of color, and of spheres of light and shadow. I look to paint a single short moment in time and place."

"First Snow at Tuckerman's Ravine" by Carol Novotne

We are so lucky to have the work of this talented artist here in our Gallery. As always, pictures don't do the paintings justice and we hope you stop in to see Carol Novotne's work in person!
