2018 Gallery of Paleo Paintings by Madison Woods

This is my 2018 gallery of paleo paintings. Captions indicate availability. All of the colors are Ozark watercolor pigments, except where otherwise noted.

I began making my paints at the end of June 2018. In July, while visiting my husband in Doha, Qatar, I painted my first painting- not only the first one using handmade paints from local pigments, but the first painting ever.

Prints and originals can be ordered directly from me (madison@wildozark.com), or through my online shop.

Also see my 2019 Gallery.

  • A rather masculine looking tree, wouldn't you say? Colors used in this painting include Purple Heavies, Whole Purple, Whole Yellow, Char, and I used a rub of Whole Yellow and Purple Heavies for the background before starting the painting.

  • For this pelican, I did have to resort to a couple of outside colors, although they were still my own handmade watercolors. I used lapis for the blue in his eye and French green clay to give the gray the right tint. This painting was based on a photo from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
    Pelican No. 1. Sold. Prints available.
  • Entire painting done with Wild Ozark Paleo Paints, Soul of the Ozarks, Collection no. 1.

  • Entire painting palette is Nirvana, from russet sandstone. On commission at Kinston Square Arts, Kingston, AR. Can be shipped. On a watercolor postcard (4" x 6") $48.00. This painting had no model. It came strictly from my imagination, but it does look like a lot of little intersections I've seen on these backroads. 
    Monochromatic in one of my first pigments created. 
  • Entire work in colors made from stones, char, and clay found at Wild Ozark. 5" x 7", $125. Sold. The painting was based on a photo by Terry Stanfill, one of our local naturalist photographers. He manages and photographs the Gentry Eagle Watch.
