Barbara McCarten
Over the past 35 years her passion as an artist has evolved from charcoal sketches, to watercolours, and most recently, into large canvas acrylics. Barbara's experiences as a mother, equestrian, and lover of nature has provided her with rich collateral to transfer from her imagination onto the canvas. Her stunning work blends her love for nature with exceptional artistic skill. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring these prairie fields to life transporting us to a serene and picturesque landscape. Acrylic paint, known for its versatility and vibrant pigments serves as the perfect medium for her vision. It is in her unique approach that she applies layers of paint with her hands and cloths. She then skillfully recreates the rolling hills, swaying grasses, endless skies, lush forests, and dreamy seascapes. Capturing the play of light and shadows, a gentle breeze rustling through the grass, and the warm hues of a moody sky. This is her goal, as she moves the viewer through a range of emotional reactions to her pieces.
