Biography
Carol McGill “painting in the Spirit”“As an experimenter with a distinctive style, I owe inspiration to Matisse for creative imagery and to Monet for plein air subtleties. Creating colors of high contrast, as employed by van Gogh, is part of my process. Whatever the subject, lush oils are manipulated with a knife to create a work of passion and movement that I hope brings JOY. My studio exploration may begin with layers of paint or sheer brushwork moving forward to an almost abstract subject. After fifteen years developing my vision, my goal is to allow God's natural beauty to fill me and “Spirit to blossom.”

"Clint Watson has made it very easy for artists to bring their work to the public.
Obviously the internet is an important marketing component for the artist.
For a luddite like me FASO is the way to go.
There is always a support team available, we get to talk to real people to solve our web site needs.
I don't have the skills or time to develop a website. I should paint not spend time on a computer."
"A website is one of the most valuable tools to market paintings for artists of our time.
I recommend FASO to every artist who is still struggling with all the difficulties in creating and maintaining their website.
FASO is so well designed it will show your paintings professionally while still being extremely user friendly.
I feel bad for all the artists not using FASO yet."
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"
"Your software is amazing! Thank you.
I just put a new painting onto my web site and it was so easy.
have made the job a piece of cake. Good job."
