Every place we’ve been has become a part of who we are. We carry with us the desert sand of Joshua Tree, the snows of Idaho, the wet, sweet air of Seattle. In her paintings, Diane Carr seems to capture the fleeting atmosphere of a moment in place.
But these aren’t your typical landscapes. Carr uses color to emphasize atmosphere and form, icy blue drips like rushing falls, contrasting with warm flecks of orange and pink, reminding me of glints of sun against rocks. Their luscious quality makes them seem to envelop the viewer, like a canopy of trees.

Love Diane’s use of color, her brushstrokes and the movement of her paintings.
Yes! Her palette is luscious!
I love these so much. I wish she had an instagram or a Facebook!
Audrey, I know! I couldn’t find her anywhere on social media.
