Pigeon Man - #3414 by Candy Barr


8 x 10 inches Oil on panel

This was one of two paintings I did for the Chocolate Festival
Plein Air Event in Glendale, AZ this February. 
While I was painting it, a good artist 
friend of mine spotted me painting! She was visiting AZ from VERMONT!  
Janet Fredericks...and her husband, Jungian psychologist and magician,
Tom Verner with his Dad. (check out Magicians Without Borders)
Quite the trio. 
It was so unbelievable in a crowd of thousands to
randomly connect with a neighbor and good friend~!

Salt River At Turn - #12014 by Candy Barr



8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas board

Finding intense hot colors in the desert is always a tad startling, as everything tends to be understated.
When leaves turn, or some flower is in bloom, it's especially beautiful.

Let the beauty you see be who you are.  _Rumi

Pond Reflection - #81313 by Candy Barr


 8 x 10 Inches Oil on canvas

This was demo for my Plein Air Workshop that started today.
We had to begin indoors due to the heavy rain, and were lucky enough 
after lunch to be able to paint outside

 on location





How many plein air painters do you see with a Julian Easel strapped
to their BMW motorcycle?  And Jim arrived in the rain coming from 
1 hour away in Calais!  
 
Almost as good as George Coll in Colorado
traveling to his painting sites with his two pack llamas hauling his gear!

I love to paint horses, so let me know if you have a special one you'd like me to capture
