Carpenter paints both en plein air and in the studio. He paints whatever seems to cry out for greater understanding, including everything from Florida scenes and still-lifes to the exterior and interior landscapes of his own past and that of his family. 'There's an element of 'not-knowing' involved in any subject I find myself drawn to... and when I'm finished I always have a better understanding not only of the subject but also of what brought me to it in the first place. It always astonishes me.'
