"Mountain Aspens", a 24x24 original oil painting by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

I have a one woman show for the month of June at Alpine Arts Center in Edwards, Colorado. I painted this piece especially for the show. I’m really excited about the show; the space is enormous, so I had a lot of fun painting some large pieces for it! Check out the arts center at www.alpineartscenter.org. I would love to have you on my newsletter mailing list(no more than twice a year, I promise!). Please sign up and view more of my work on my website at http://www.barbarachurchley.com.

"Summer Trail", a 24x24 original oil landscape painting by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

I am thrilled and honored to be featured in the June issue of Southwest Art magazine! Ten plein air artists from around the country were selected for this annual plein air issue. This painting is the one I used to advertise in the magazine. The painting the editors chose for the feature article is one of my winter scenes, “Making Tracks”(look on my archived blogs). I would love to have you on my newsletter mailing list(no more than twice a year, I promise!). Please sign up(and view more of my work) on my website at http://www.barbarachurchley.com.

"High Mountain Stream", a 36x48 original oil by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

I am having a one woman show at the Alpine Arts Center in Edwards, Colorado for the month of June. This is the largest painting for the show, and I was reminded of many adventures in the high mountain meadows in the Rocky Mountains, where the streams begin from pristine lakes under the awe inspiring high peaks. Come see for yourself at my show! To view more of my work, please visit my website at http://www.barbarachurchley.com.

Mountain Blues, a 6x8 original pastel by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

Wow - I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to blog! I'll do my best to change that. I just returned 3 weeks ago from a fabulous trip to Cambodia and Viet Nam, traveling by boat up the Mekong River with my sister. Since my return, I have had pastel workshops the past two weekends and they have been just fantastic. Lots of eager and talented artists with some great paintings as a result of the weekend’s work. This pastel was a demo that I painted to show the use of a cool color palette. This painting sold to one of the students.
