Carole K. Boyd

I am an attorney by business day, horse care-taker in early morning and evening hours, gallery owner and artist whenever, and ranch manager and rider on week-ends. One day about five years ago, during business hours and while holding on a telephone call for another attorney, I was at my computer looking around at the various programs it offered. As my days are pretty congested, I seldom had time for computer wandering. That day I found a program that I later learned was on almost all computers called simply “Paint.” I clicked it on, and got a blank screen with some utensils shown on the left and a color chart below. I clicked some more and found a pencil that I could draw with. Neat, I thought. So I drew a little picture and by the time the attorney finally got back on the line I had discovered how to add “fill”, and paint the picture.

All of my work is done as an original digital painting, not an altered or manipulated photograph. Each piece is hand painted without the use of filters or other aids, using the program Microsoft Paint and a mouse. I especially like doing animal portraits, Native American themed pieces, and landscapes. Visit Carole K. Boyd's portfolio of digital paintings.
