The Old Masters in Me

Paintings by Caroline Bell-Reed

I have been dabbling in the arts for many years, and actually went to the University in Windsor Ontario and received a bachelor of Fine Arts.

Painting by Laura Young

I am an amateur artist that constantly imagines new pictures. My passion for art (that has increased dramatically) since childhood leaves me frustrated because my skill as an artist is not on par with the images in my imagination.

The paintings in my mind are three dimensional, vividly colorful and striking with a bold sense of realism and my drawings pale in comparison.
