About The Artist

My photo
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Hello! I am a fine arts painter, with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My primary painting medium is oil and alkyd, and mostly I work in a representational style. My greatest challenge as a painter is to capture the effect of light; and my greatest joy as a painter is to accomplish that. Many thanks to those readers who have been following this blog since Day 1 (May 19, 2008). To those who are visiting for the first time today...Welcome, and thanks for dropping by!

Sneak Peek #6...


Carol L Adamec: "The Road to Mt. Fuji", 2017, mixed media, 14"x11" (framed)

Mt. Fuji, located west of Tokyo on the island of Honshu, is an iconic element featured in many traditional Japanese prints and paintings, as well as contemporary advertising and promotion. Considered one of three sacred mountains in Japan, Mt. Fuji stands over 12,000 feet in height and is snow-capped 5 months out of the year.

Today's post is my version of Mt. Fuji, inspired by the woodcut prints of Hiroshige, Hokusai, and a vintage Japanese matchbook cover. And it was fun to do, too!
