Studio Update and New Paintings
Dear Friends, Family and Collectors,
If you have walked by 11 West Market Street recently, you may have been surprised to see that I am no longer there.
After 7 great years, it was time to move on, and now I am looking for another studio, one which better suits my current needs. My last day was May 18th, 2019.
The following week I drove to Wethersfield, Connecticut, a charming New England town founded in 1637, where I attended a week-long workshop with John MacDonald at the Wethersfield Academy.
It was great to spend a week painting with like-minded artists and to be learning new skills. The subject was interpreting photographs and other references to create meaningful landscapes. John is a fantastic instructor and person, and I highly recommend his workshops.
When I returned home, I thought I would be painting en plein air (outdoors) this summer but it has rained and rained and rained. So, not much painting has happened... yet. I plan to find a place to set up in July and get back to work.
Other news: I am participating in the group shows at the ARTS Evelyn Peeler Peacock Gallery at 79 West Market Street. Currently being exhibited there is my painting, "The Conversation."
If you are interested in acquiring any of these paintings, please let me know.
As always, I appreciate your interest and support of my work!
Best,
Barbara

| "The Conversation" 10" x 8" Oil SOLD |
This week I realized I had not shared my peonies painting which I started last summer, and finished over the winter, before leaving my Market Street studio.

I remembered as I was clipping the last of this year's peonies from my garden. It is always a bittersweet day, when I realize peony season is over, but still knowing they will bloom again next year.
As always, I appreciate your interest and support of my work!
Best,
Barbara
