2 x 3 ft. acrylic painting and 20 x 30 in giclee prints When visiting Newport on the Levee across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, see Carol's work at Art on the Levee, right near the movie theater box office. In addition to Carol's original paintings, Art on the Levee sells framable greeting cards and limited edition prints of her work, especially "Happy Cincinnati" scenes.	7 x 9 inch acrylic painting, Florida Rather than reproduce realistic or architectural renditions of her subjects, Carol is more interested in exploring the boundaries between recognizable places and abstraction. Much of what you see of a subject in her work wouldn't appear in photographs of the home.	12 x 16 inch acrylic painting $350 Although she also paints in oils and watercolor, Carol Abbott's preferred medium is acrylics. She typically begins a painting by choosing a color with which to cover the whole canvas. Then she works back and forth between lights and darks, exploiting the transparent nature of the paint, as well as its opacity.
7.5 x 9.5 acrylic painting in 11 x 14" frame $200 A recent client wrote, “Looks great. You made it look better than it really does.” Paintings can portray a house in ways photographs cannot. In a painting, we can trim, plant or remove trees and bushes, make it any season, or turn back the clock to an earlier point in time.	16 x 20 inch mixed media painting $400 In a painting, we can trim, plant or remove trees and bushes, make it any season, or turn back the clock to an earlier point in time. Some artists feel limited by painting subjects of others’ choosing, but I love to work on commissions, especially the collaborative aspects and the learning that comes from each new project.	Not only does the original painting of the home, building or scene make a wonderful gift. But prints can be made on canvas or fine watercolor paper that are suitable for framing in any size for other family members. Typically these limited edition prints cost between $50-$150 each, unframed.
