Hawaii Plein Air Artist
Inspired by the unique beauty of Hawai’i, Barbara portrays the essence of life on the Big Island through her paintings.
Barbara’s Paintings
The art of Plein Air, painting outdoors on location, provides the artist a challenge to portray what is really happening at that particular time and place.
This method forces the artist to be focused and work quickly in order to complete a painting before the light changes.
It is passion that drives the artist to always seek new ways of seeing light, color, shape, value and form while portraying and evoking an emotional feeling.
You can’t paint a morning painting in the afternoon; you must have patience and discipline to work when dealing with the changes of weather, light and the usual distraction of onlookers.
