"Gloam", Carol Strock Wasson, oil, 16 x 16 in.

Carol Strock Wasson: I painted this piece in the studio after observation and memories of that time of day when the world softens and the light slips into memory. I wanted to capture that fleeting pause between day and night. Using my understanding of color theory, I let the landscape speak in whispers—shadow stretching across field and sky, warmth lingering at the edges.

Carol’s work is deeply inspired by the rural landscapes of her home, where she focuses on color, shape, and design in both the plein air tradition and studio settings. While she is widely recognized for her expertise in pastel, her artistic repertoire also includes oil painting and monotype prints.
