Caroline A. Doucette is a signature member of the NewEngland 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 husband’s business relocated moving them from Nashua, New Hampshire to Rugby, North Dakota. Her work can be viewed on the Internet at www.carolinedoucette.com.

I really like to paint flowers. They’re fun and they can be played with. Originally, I found flowers so simple but than 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 fuzziness. 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, that’s bold and has a beauty despite any flaws. In the flower is the continuous circle of life with the dreams of tomorrow.
