Welcome!

Welcome to the colorful world of ArtsnPhotos where artist, Carole Smith, has put together a large and eclectic range of art and photography.

Everything about art and photos is an endless source of inspiration for her.  It’s the rhythm of the paintbrush, the sounds of the camera clicking, conversations with other artists. A technique used frequently by Carole is getting lost on the weekends, and with her camera in hand, capturing the beauty of vineyards, flowers, nature and the crashing of the ocean waves. 

You will find her unique and realistic watercolor and acrylic paintings absolutely breathtaking. Carole’s art is inspired by her photography.  She uses the light and shadows of the early morning or the late afternoon to achieve the perfect setting for what she will be painting. Wherever she goes, she seems to always have her camera to capture that special image. Living in Sonoma County California, gives Carole such a variety of subjects to choose from. At every turn there seems to be beautiful inspirations of vineyards, flowers, San Francisco, animals, beach scenes and so much more.
