Item Description

Carolyn Ann Bartolini Steward "Summer Camp" Signed Original Oil Painting

This beautiful painting by Carolyn Ann Bartolini Steward depicts a tent set up on the water on a gorgeous summer day. Signed lower left hand corner. Beautiful gold painted frame.

Steward paints landscapes and still lifes that appear impressionistic. Born into a family of artists, she has spent a lifetime developing her personal style.

Steward’s mother did watercolor portraits and sceneries, and for many years worked for a New York City company painting porcelain plates. Steward’s father trained as a sculptor in Belgium prior to World War II and went on to work as the chief sculptor for Ben Cooper, Disney and Mattel. Most notably, he made the first molds for the Barbie doll line that are still in use today.

With two artists as parents, Steward’s interest in art began in childhood, and carried into adulthood. She spent a year at the Fashion Institute of Technology, was an illustrator in the military and earned her bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Goddard College.

Influenced by her father, Steward’s first works were of "life studies."

"I worked continually from life making self-portraits, sculptures, drawing objects and other people," she says.

In 1986, her style changed when she became interested in the beauty of icons. She was introduced to a leading iconographer and taught the "correct" way to write an icon, she says. Applying egg tempera and following the church dogma, Steward mastered the medium quickly, but four years later found herself sickened by the smell of oil paint and turned to acrylics.

"Too sick to work from life, I allowed myself for the first time to work from my imagination," Steward says. "I felt I had to express ideas."

Her works started out primitive after years of creating flat icons, but eventually Steward’s health improved. She returned to oils, moved outside (en plein air, as the French say) into nature, studied impressionism and, she says, "my ability to spontaneously record in paint emerged."

This painting is in good condition with a wire on back. It could use a dusting.

Please note: The name “Carolyn Howard” is not accurate and was added after the fact by someone other than the artist.
