Snaggly Clouds

My favorite place to be is on the breakwater. Out there, near the lighthouse, I can take a deep breath… and life, with all its diversity of experience, seems to come together. This water connects to the water that connects to countries all over the world… I can breathe in...

Meditate

Barb wrote: As I sit, I see the sea. Funny; This painting is very much about the sea and yet you can not see a drop of it in this painting . . . I think that meditation, silence, prayerful peacefulness, whatever you may want to call it, is one...

Astronomy

All of a sudden, Barb has started to paint abstracts. This is her first one. This painting is unique as it still retains the linear nature of some of her earlier work but that linearity starts to break down with the very next painting. There is not wrong orientation to...

Tulips and Daffodills

Flowers and Sky

This painting is extremely subtle and complex. Unfortunately, the web does not do this justice. It is truly a stunning image. This is one of Barb’s earlier works. The way she does her sky foreshadows her successes with other blocks such as the concrete on the breakwater in “Snaggly Clouds”...

Bird of Paradise

I Am Here From Far Away

Barb lives in Canada and the Inukshuk is a common sight in Canda’s far north. Increasingly, it is seen in the southern part of Canada where Barb lives. This picture emerged spontaneously one day. It is unique among her art to date. Some people are reminded of the “Iron Giant”...
