Barbara paints primarily from reference photos which she, her husband and friends have taken. Her focus when approaching a new painting is to capture the mood which inspired the photo or still life set up in her studio.

This is the finsished, unmatted, unframed painting that I talked about yesterday. Sorry for the delay. I painted today in Sedona; however, it was quite windy. We did have fun.

This painting ... double matted and framed with another stem added....sold today. This is the only photo I had of Serenity. She saw it in January and found my card to buy it in late March. It will be happy.

Magnificent Saguaros!!!
This gives an idea of the brittle bush.....not the most exotic plant, but pretty yellow.
This Saguaro broke off and landed in a neighboring tree. Nice Neighbors.
This is just one of the many pictures Charlie took this weekend in Tucson. We went to the Saguaro National Park once again. This time the brittle bush was blooming so the hills were blazing yellow. We missed the Mexican poppies and lupine by three weeks. Millions of suguaro. Amazing.

This painting, "Ladies, all in a Row" sold yesterday at our March Fair. The girl who bought it was so happy, it made my already great day wonderful. I did an hour demo in pastel earlier in the day.
