William Moore, “Heart of Vision”, “Celebrating Life: The Art of Doris McCarthy”, The McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, 1999, pages 213-14
Discussing the challenges of working in watercolour and McCarthy's mastery of the medium, William Moore points out that the artist's watercolours are “straightforward works, simple and direct, in a medium that cannot conceal overworking or tentativeness...While often McCarthy works on site, many watercolours are done later in the studio, using photographs or slides as reference. Even removed from the scene, the painter relies on sensual recollections of light, the wind and weather, the character of the place.”
