Saying Goodbye

This is a photo of my father, Mark and his wife Barbara.  Dad and Barbara never missed one of my shows.  They purchased this painting from me at my second year of Celebration of Fine Art.  Dad has been one of my biggest fans.  He passed away on Aug. 18th after a year long battle with Lung cancer.  I will miss him very much.

Keeping Up

     I haven't posted for quite awhile.  Oct. of 2010 was the start of a truly challenging time in my life as well as my family's.  The events we all had to face have been life changing for us.  The last of them ending in a move.  We will be moving to Utah sometime in September.  Our five kids have lived in Phoenix for their entire lives.  This will be very exciting for them.  We are moving our mini farm with us.  The horses, dogs and rabbit, will be with us.  Still deciding on the chickens and ducks, don't know if they will be up to the move.  We will miss our family and friends greatly but with social media it will always seem as if they are close.  I will return to Scottsdale each year for the Celebration of Fine Art for as long as they will have me.  They are some of the greatest people I know and I consider myself lucky for the last six years I have been included in this show.  Hopefully we will be all settled by the time I head back for the show. 

Plein Air Painting At Christopher Creek, AZ

Christopher Creek

This little painting measures 10 x 8 inches.  I set up while the family was hiking and started to paint.  I had a great time.  The rain was coming off and on but I was set up under an awning.  It was very green and beautiful there.  The creek was only twenty feet away, heaven.  This painting is for sale for $200.   All inquiries please contact me at dfbarbee@cox.net.

Thank you for looking.
