Grazing Cows - #9213 by Candy Barr
12 x 18 Inches Oil on Birch Ply
The cows went by and I started with them, and pushed everything back
and to either side, and why not add a pond? The trees just are not elegant enough.
I need to simplify more or step up the brush work of definition. The colors are fun though.
Tough to like everything. Maybe it's not done?

Plateau Cliffs (ala Ed Mell) #21513
24 x 24 inches Oil on canvas
This was one of the first paintings I did some years ago after arriving in Scottsdale Arizona to spend my first winter. Ed Mell has terrific paintings at the Overland Gallery, and I think I saw some at the Mayo Clinic here as well. A modern Maynard Dixon if you will, with stylized and definite shapes to values. I thought I might learn something about the mountain shapes and his colors doing this painting
Please contact me if interested in purchasing.

Cloud Hole - #73011
6 x 6 inches Oil on birch ply
$49 + S
Here is one of my demos for my plein air class on Wednesdays. Thalo blue, Alizarin Crimson and Raw Sienna with Titanium White. It was a spectacular day for viewing clouds as seen below. We painted on the Rolston Rd by the fields of Belted Gallaway cows, that has 365 view of the sky!
So facing west and the Green Mts had end of day light ...so dramatic.
There was a row of us lined up, some using our tailgate as studio.
I started viewing this hole which changed VERY QUICKLY!
These two had a personality on their own.
I could paint clouds all day.

Heron Island
16 x 22 inches Oil on wood SOLD
This one took a nose dive as I was packing up
with a direct implant into the sand as sunrise complete.
I loved the painting and was so devastated,
I just let my spirit enjoy the fact that I did
the painting and had enjoyed the sunrise
listening to the tide go out.
The sparkles in the paint are an added benefit,
and really I just touched it up after it had dried,
so it was a good thing I didn't get too worked up.
It's taken me a while to consider "touching up"
on a plein air painting OK. Geez...
lighten up Candy.
Maybe there needs to be a
Certificate of Plein Air Authenticity,
where on the back of each painting done on
location ...there is a place to check off
what percentage was done in studio:
5 %, 10 %, 20%? If it was touched up
at all, even to straighten out the mast after it's
dry, then there you go... 5% in studio.
(I assume the mast is an important part
of the composition to figure 5%_!)
Without this certificate, one can hardly
trust it was done entirely on location.
Price hike for on location vs in studio?
Ah the pricing dialog. Later.

Maynard's Clouds
6" x 6" Oil $99. + S/H
A simplified depiction of Maynard Dixon's 1920's painting
that struck me for the dynamic simplicity of design as well
as the bold color.
