I wear two hats with different names: Madison Woods when I’m wearing the artist hat, Roxann Riedel in real life and real estate. I'm a rock-smashing paint-making artist & a sales agent for Montgomery Whiteley Realty. Hailing from the wild Ozarks in Kingston, Arkansas where my husband and I work toward a sustainable lifestyle.

Local Earth Pigments & Watercolors | Paleo Paints

I turn rocks and clay into color-drenched, earth pigments for handmade watercolors. I call them Paleo Paints, and each collection of colors are a Soul of the Ozarks collection. The process I use to get the pigment is similar to how it was done from the first time a human slapped a painted handprint on the wall of a cave.

My watercolor paintings made from our local earth pigments are, naturally, earthy. The subjects I paint are drawn from the nature around me here at Wild Ozark. You can find my earthy paintings listed in my online shop, or see at exhibits. At this moment there are five paintings in three states. The exhibits are temporary and will be different.

Click this link to see what is on exhibit and where at any given time.

All of my paints and palettes are small-batch produced and will always be available in very limited quantities.

Paleo Paint made from my local stones, clay, or herbs are arranged into palette collections called “Soul of the Ozarks”. When I use earth pigments from other places, I’ll note that in the product descriptions.

I use my local earth pigments in my watercolor nature art, and to add color to my native clay sculptures.
