Day and Night Painter: Guardian Angels
http://barbaramakesart.blogspot.com/2012/10/guardian-angels.html
Day and Night Painter. This blog is my art journal and features the development of my works, as well as inspirational images from my travels. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. I think a pair of devoted parents count as guardian angels, and so I added a male figure to the composition of this painting. This one measures 14x11 inches on 3/4 inch wrapped canvas, and like the others in the series, it's painted with acrylics. It'll be on view this weekend at Jeanette and Robert Parkes' Friends on the Farm Art Market.

Day and Night Painter. This blog is my art journal and features the development of my works, as well as inspirational images from my travels. Wednesday, June 06, 2012. I had every intention of getting some painting done yesterday, but then I spotted this critter out the kitchen window. I've only ever seen grey racoons, so I was quite fascinated to see an auburn one, so outside onto the deck I went, camera in hand. Soon he/she was joined by a friend of the usual colouring. Maybe I'll paint tomorrow .

Day and Night Painter. This blog is my art journal and features the development of my works, as well as inspirational images from my travels. Friday, September 13, 2013. I made a few changes to Moonlit Shed yesterday, let it sit overnight before looking at it again this morning to decide if it's really finished. Yes, I've decided it's finished, so I must stop tweaking it; the best way to stop is to start a new work. I've got a blank canvas on the easel, ready to go! Nice work. painter. MORE OF MY WORKS.

After seeing the image from my last post on-line, I decided a little more detail was needed, so added swirls to the male angel's robe. It's funny how a painting often looks finished to me until I photograph it and have a look at it in its new format. I think the swirls improve this image - what do you think? No, I to...

Negative Space With Crows, With Apologies and Thanks to Mordecai Richler. I recently attempted to read " Solomon Gursky Was Here. A novel by Mordecai Richler. I've read and enjoyed a few books by Richler, but I thought this one was nothing but nonsensical babble - I mean, really bad, dull and verbose in the extreme. This review.

Day and Night Painter. This blog is my art journal and features the development of my works, as well as inspirational images from my travels. Wednesday, January 25, 2012. While I told myself 2012 would be the year I challenge myself to create a new artwork every week (fleetingly I even contemplated creating a very small work every day, as many more disciplined bloggers do) here it is, late January and I have created nothing but the beginnings of something: yesterday's distressed panel. Merisi's Vienna fo...

Day and Night Painter: March 2013
http://barbaramakesart.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Day and Night Painter. This blog is my art journal and features the development of my works, as well as inspirational images from my travels. Wednesday, March 06, 2013. New work on the easel. I'm recovering from a shoulder and neck injury, so it's been a couple of months since I've been in the studio. Now I'm working long hong hours again as I'm April's Artist of the Month at the Watershed Artists Society gallery shop. Hopefully I'll be able to post an image of the finished piece at the end of this week.
