Caroline A.
Doucette is a signature member of the New England Watercolor Society and
Pennsylvania Watercolor Society. She has been published in both the
Summer 1996 issue and the Spring 2000 issue of the Watercolor
magazine.
Her painting To Life appears in the book Splash
5:
The
Glory of Color. Her paintings are in a number of collections
including the Taube Museum of Art, Minot, ND and the Worcester Polytechnic
Institute, Worcester, MA. Her mother is an
artist as was her grandmother. As play, her mother taught her
perspective drawing when she was 4 years old. With her
first camera at 11 years old, her father, who had once worked with the
photography department in the US Air Force, taught her the fundamentals of
composition.
In December of 1989, her husband encouraged her to paint full time,
suggesting she use watercolors and later to specialize in florals. Following his
intuition and guidance, she began to win awards and recognition.
In November
2000, her husbands
business relocated moving them from Nashua, New Hampshire to Rugby, North
Dakota.

I really like to paint
flowers. Theyre fun and they can be played with. Originally, I
found flowers so simple but then I found I could play with the wonderful
colors and shadows and get right down into them like some magical
fairy. I
like to use a simple palette of red, blue, yellow, cool, and warm so I can
get nice rich, brilliant, vivid, clean colors that will sit on my hot
press paper in such a delightful way. I like to make the leaf curl away and
the petal look soft and fuzzy. It is how the peach has weight and the
autumn leaf crunches under foot. The more I painted flowers, and
gardened, the more I viewed myself, and flowers, as survivors, with a
quiet strength, thats bold and has a beauty despite any flaws. In the flower
is the continuous circle of life with the dreams of
tomorrow. My flags
arent really that much different than the
flowers.
Its a matter of feel. Feel the fold roll and dip then tuck
under. I started painting them long before 9/11. Theyre a part of my family heritage. My maternal
grandfather joined the US Army in WWI for his citizenship, his sons, and
my uncles, served in WWII. My mother was in the Army, during the
Koran War, when she met my father, who was in the Air Force. The Army, Air
Force, Navy and Marines each got one of my four brothers. I, myself,
served in the Army at the end of Viet Nam Conflict. Caroline |
