"Autumn in the Marshes" 18x18, an original oil landscape painting by western Colorado artist Barbara Churchley

Autumn in the Marshes is painted on cradled board that has been textured with modeling paste. I created this larger studio work from an “en plein air” pastel of Hart’s Basin. I really had a great time painting with red hues for this marsh scene.

Spring Green, 36x24, original oil painting on cradled board by western Colorado artist Barbara Churchley

“Spring Green” was almost entirely created from my imagination. I have spent many hours among aspens, so it was not too difficult to compose. This painting sold the day it was hung to a fellow artist! This piece just placed in “Southwest Art” magazine’s 2011 “Artistic Excellence" competition. Of over 3,000 entries, this piece was in the top 20. To view more of my work, please visit my website at http://www.barbarachurchley.com or e-mail me at barbara@barbarachurchley.com

Afternoon, a 24x24 original contemporary landscape oil painting by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

I have a one woman show coming up in Eagle, Colorado. I want to have some big, dramatic pieces for the show. This painting is on a Deep Edge canvas, and is painted on all sides. The trees in this painting are on the back of a trail near my home and alongside a creek.
