"A Pitcher Full", a 9x8.5 original still life pastel by Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

Flowers are just the most fun thing to paint, or pastel in this case! Flowers are just so beautiful that I can’t help but enjoy myself when I paint them. Your turn to enjoy!

"Barns in Summer", an 11x14 original landscape oil painting by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

In my workshops, I am always asked to demonstrate the palette knife. I usually take a painting this is more or less finished and re-paint it with the knife. This painting is a result of just such a demo. I made some later adjustments in my studio, and feel the piece is lively and inviting.
