For years I painted rugged landscapes
inspired by places I hiked. I'd plan my
work on location. That all changed when
my friend was injured and we had to help
him hike out of the forest. After he was
safely back I wanted to know what we
missed.So I painted the place I wanted to have found.

That experience started a whole new tradition in my studio. Now my work includes both the lush, beautiful places I have visited and those I
invent - places you can only get to through the 'window' of the painting. My goal is for these completely original places to
make satisfying escapes.

Here's my blog: www.barbaraferrier.blogspot.com

Skiing, the outdoors in general - trusting my intuition when painting. And of course, my husband and children.

Barbara,


Your paintings are terrific. You have certaainly captured the neauty of the Southwest in your work. I especially love your scenes with touquise and blues. Wonderful work. Keep your eye on the real prize -- making beautiful paintings is what it is all about.

Hey ya, I couldn't find the group   

I think the engineer in all engineers, wants to not be so limited in their creations.  LOL... That's what made me give it up.  couldn't really create.  Now I am in the middle of about 3 different series.  Ideas are flowing left right and center.  

 Your work is incredible.  Love the colors.  (at some point I will actually add colors in my work again.   LOL)

PS.  Thanks for all the awesome comments.

THanks Barbara, that is a good description and another positive spin on it.  I forgot to add, I put those paintings there when I was feeling very overwhelmed with canvases in my home, so it helped unclog that flow and I began to paint with renewed vigor!


 Are you on Boundless Gallery?
