Most times they are captivated by the fact that the images I create are rendered in watercolor pigments. They comment that my work is so vibrant, so colorful, so powerful. Teaching myself, I discovered techniques that lent themselves to the overall effect of pure colors and rich tones. The second response is usually to the fact that these watercolor pigments are done on canvas, a tightly woven portraiture linen primed with an alkaline primer. This primer was developed for use in the giclee print process. It was researching the print process that I discovered this fact and immediately ordered a roll of canvas to experiment with. I was instantly hooked. One must only break down the factory "sizing" with a gentle wash of mild soapy water. I use a product called Simply Awesome, available at most stores. If I am composing a piece, I sketch the composition with an SoHo Ebony graphite pencil. This is the best I have found for my work because it cleans off with water and "drags" well. Let me explain dragging. I use a fine tip round brush dipped in clean water, sized #2 to #12 depending on size of work. I go over each pencil line with this, allowing run and bleed to do its magic and establishing shading and shadowing from line edges out to center of shape. I set this work aside to dry naturally. One can shoot across the canvas with a hair dryer but excess water will travel. One can tamp this up but I like the natural drying effect better. When the sketch wash is dry I can then begin to add color washes. Watercolor work is traditionally done from the lightest, most transparent color to the darkest, most opaque: opposite of oil or acrylic. I can flood the piece with gamboge for a bright yellow underpainting or with a mauve for a darker underpainting. I will often do a combination so I can enhance the gradient shades. Whatever one uses, it is good to remember this is the first stain on the canvas and is difficult to remove. It shifts all the layers of color applied above it. A delicious phenomenon when used for dramatic effect! I let this dry naturally also. In the third phase of construction, I hit the "zone" and begin assembling colors all over the canvas. Starting with skin tones, I work right to left (being left-handed, I am forever swiping freshly laid wet paint... Oh well.) I apply the tones of Naples Yellow, Vermillion, and Mauve from highlight to shadow. I allow to dry. I then take brushes or small squares of cutup t-shirt and, much like applying <br />

make-up, I blend the colors. This gives me smooth skin tones with gradient shading and shadowing. The eyes and lips are still blank, but I am beginning to recognize my characters. Once this phase dries, I flip the canvas upside down and move to the lips and eyes. This is much detail and I invite the reader to expand the images and research the eye/lip work. Hint: do eye shadow and Iris color first; pupils last. Moving from the creation of the characters, I begin to use all my color theory lessons to place the large color blocks. I clean brushes and palette with each color. I apply a coat and lift it off. I reapply for two or three stains. You'll often hear me say, "I paint a painting seven or eight times." The last pigment I apply is the pure Indigo for the rich black accent color blocks I use for drama. Don't forget the pupil and mascara!tom barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02144601988310590716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568812056641840036.post-25368708066200423252016-10-13T03:31:00.004-07:002016-10-13T03:33:59.180-07:00New Images for Stockley Gardens Art Festival October 15-16... This Weekend!A few new for preview... Website changes will be up this weekend. Looking forward to clear skies and bright smiles as I travel back to roots of art show experience. It's been almost 25 years of painting and selling and placing art in the homes of Virginians living in the Tidewater Area of Hampton Roads. And so many friends who visit, check in and remind me of how blessed I am to have had the warm and wonderful reception for my work...

Hope to see you there. And Thanks! Sincerely... Tom<br />

I've just finished all the pieces - 46 total. I'm wiped out but I even swept the studio (it needed it badly) and all is ready for the trip. I'm picking up Ty in St Augustine at the beach house, having dinner at The Seafood Kitchen (Sissy and Margaret beware - I'm hungry), and spending the night - traveling tomorrow and setting up Saturday at daybreak. I miss my honey and bride so I'll be real serene when I get a hug from her! Gotta love this: I had some real interesting experiences painting this week... had some pieces I didn't like so much and I took them and reworked them. I am very pleased with the outcome... especially after 16 hours of rework! The new postings should be up and on the website sometime this weekend. Dan got them all this morning 3 AM Denver time. I am also working on abstracts and after reading a novel about the American Expressionist movement and one about bullfighting in Mexico, I am energized for the long haul. Abstracts are freeing to do, but they are the most difficult to manage. Seems anybody can fling paint but to keep the passion and nuance, the structure and "push/pull" of the color theory, add in theme and message and boy has one a tall order to fill... then it has to be pleasing! Well we'll see how this pans out. I do feel like I understood some new principles in the making of art. I am alone so much in the studio, listening to "my shuffle" and dancing around the table, that I don't get out much. I don't get the stimulating conversations about how we do this thing. And after 24 years of it, I guess I'd have to say I have some experience - now the job is to use it in innovative ways, refreshing my art button. Of course, my patrons and friends do a very good job of keeping me at it and their approval means everything to us - how could we do what we do without their love! I'm stoked!<br />

Twice a year, forty-five times totaled, I have loaded up and delivered, set up and sold. The only one I missed was right after 9-11... This one promises to be beautiful weather - Please Lord - and it will be great to see my friends and patrons; they started me out and gave the support and encouragement I needed. It is so gratifying to see children once in strollers, who over the years have grown up with my work, now pushing strollers of their own and buying works of art for their homes! I've lived too long! Ty is staying at the house in St Augustine and Gail and I are making this trip - a tradition for us for sure... And below are some of the new works I'll be bringing along. I am experimenting with oil pastel. I can't ever see me shifting mediums, but this one has rather captivated my creative sense in that there are some many things which can be done to enhance a piece, give it texture, and embellish the canvas - but do I want that? The jury is out on this one; I'll know when I know... for now it is good to refresh the juices with new experiments in new ideas... Looking forward to seeing you at Stockley this weekend or at the new show in Urbana (Arts in the Middle) on May 30-31... I was honored to be invited as a Featured Artist and am looking forward to kicking off this show for the area "in the middle." More before then...<br />

My favorite is the one that goes like this: Ty and I pulled into the driveway in Rancho La Quinta and greeted our hosts, Denise and Bill... a few minutes after, while we were unpacking our gear, a tap came on the casita door... Denise told me there was someone out front peeking into the van. A couple was out for their evening stroll and looked into the van windows. I had just finished a large piece and had put it on the top of all the rest so that it could "cure up," that is, so that the varnish would harden over the four day trip west. The short story is that within minutes, the piece was being previewed in their home a few doors down and the deal was complete. I thought of all the times I had laughed about the "Velvet Elvis" vans parked in abandoned gas stations! I am deeply appreciative to my faithful and loving patrons there. The show was a spectacular success and one of the most pleasant in my career. Tyler was a trooper and drove there and back with care and diligence. He's my buddy! Gail kept the home fires burning and what a joyous reunion she arranged... the soup hit the spot after five days on the east bound freeway... After La Quinta, I came back and having sold tons or art, had to add to the inventory... Here are the additions. Coming up will be a new show in Memphis, TN... Can't wait to see what the Long Neck Ladies do there! Oh, and Tyler has convinced me to get back to painting florals and landscapes. Think I'll follow his lead...<br />

February snows and cold are left behind for the desert oasis of southern Cali and climes told of in those tourism brochures... but these are true! Tyler and I will leave on Saturday for the four day drive out west, with stops in Jackson MS, Big Spring TX, Tucson AZ. We'll be driving the new Artmobile, named Bertha Ford, for her maiden voyage across these United States. She's a 15 passenger van, converted to haul long neck ladies of which the count is now at 65... I had to paint for the past three weeks with abandon. But all is as of today ready. Amazing that I actually have two days of putzing around. I might get to have a conversation with Gail that lasts more than 15 minutes... Tyler came to the studio and framed everything for me. We have had some really good times traveling and this time I Audibled "The History of the United States from 1492," Robinson Crusoe," and a collection of Sherlock Holmes... we're phat with the story-telling. We are in the able hands of Bill and Denise Zolbert once again. Their casita has become our "home away from home" and their hospitality is immense. Bob and Sandy are expected as are Bob and Bev, Janice and Ray... it's like a traveling circus and a bevvy of friends! How blessed are we! I'm putting the new pieces below for a sneak preview for those who know the skinny on the blog...<br />

This year we booked a condo in Boca Raton for the 12 days and the family is all going! Ty is helping with the shows and Gail has determined she is going "just to be with..." How cool is that! We're closing out a very successful year. And in doing so, reflect on all the warm and wonderful folks who made it so. Each one of my clients is someone special. I am always thanking the Beloved for the generosity and sustenance provided by the loyal and faithful. I add my hopes for a marvelous year for each of them... Here are a few of the smaller pieces (Bruce, these are especially for you to browse... that wall might be filling up but one never knows where you'll find another space to fulfill your collection....!) Happy New Year all!<br />

I am working on the shows in Florida coming the first weeks in January but I took a detour for some playtime. I am finding these organic pieces much to my liking. The niche of appreciators is smaller because of the contemporary motifs but I believe these have some strong implications for the future of my artistic placements. These mark the addition of a style and manner I have worked on for years but have just never felt like I had perfected it as a voice. I seem to be finding, at the least, the tune. We'll see how the warbling sounds. More as they develop; I show these "in media res..." Love to all this bright season of hope and joy...<br />

GA is cold with temps in 20's at night but Tyler and I are headed to Palm Beach FL for a weekend show just before our turkey gets popped into the oven. The show is at City Place, downtown, and runs Nov 22-23, 10 AM to 5 PM. We are looking forward to the usual drive chat and business idea discussions. Here are a few of the new pieces I'm taking... Also, just ordered the calendars for 2015 so if you'd like one, please drop a request to me: tombarnesfineart@comcast.net. They should be here around December 10 and I'll get one in the mail to you soon after. There are First Edition Ornaments available for Holiday decorating at Richard Stravitz Galleries in Virginia Beach. Ask for Jan and she'll give you the info, price, etc. Meanwhile, remind yourself that you are loved and appreciated by the Barneses this holiday season. We could not do this without you...<br />

The show runs Nov 1 -2 and will be staged on the main street in Venice. Looking forward to time with Tyler as he learns the ropes on the show circuit. He's a big help and has taken to framing and packing and driving along with some internet and email duties. I've never had this kind of service! Gail continues to keep me well fed and sassy. Together they form a support system that I can not do without, am continually blessed by, and forever grateful for... Here are some of the newest pieces to be shown...<br />

Feeling deflated. I checked the number and saw it was a number I didn't know. I really hesitated to answer it. But, because it's what I do, I spoke into the receiver with the usual, "Hi, this is Tom." From the other end came a voice of a young man who said he had just sent me an email. I clicked the computer to "Inbox". As I read and he talked the story unfolded. This young man and his wife had seen a piece of art in my booth at Stockley Gardens in 1999. They "didn't have two nickels to rub together," he said. But I had spent a lot of time talking about the piece, about art, about my life of art. It was a cobalt blue background and a white magnolia. It had the gold touches and was about 32" x 32". Did I remember it? Well, vaguely. I know I hadn't done one since and sort of recalled the time/space I was doing it in. He said the piece had been at the Harbor Gallery after the show and then it disappeared. He said the gallery manager reported it "out on approval." Several weeks later, he and his wife found out that the painting had been returned. So this young couple ended up buying it after all, not knowing how they would pay for it. I then remembered, as it happened, that I was in the gallery collecting things to pack up for our move to Colorado and met a bright and pretty young lady and a little boy in a stroller. She bought the magnolia and took it home. I asked the guy on the phone if that was perhaps his wife and son. "Yes! Yes!" he said, "I can't believe you remembered!" By then I had received his second email and with it the digital of my work. He described the provenance of the piece, its travels along with them from Iran to Afghanistan to the Arab Emirates where it was now being packed for shipment back to Washington DC. He became a diplomat assigned to the Middle East and had hosted many parties and functions where lots of people asked, "What is it?" Most had never seen a southern magnolia. They all, he reported, thought it the best of their now extensive world-wide art collection (yay me!). His family is now returning to live in the DC area and he needed to know the insurance value for trans-Atlantic travel. He said for his family the piece was priceless, embedded with much appreciation. I was happy to report his investment had quadrupled! He went on the say how he had been raised in South Carolina and times when things were rough and the world around him seemed to be unraveling, he would meditate on the painting and found comfort in the image. I was brought to tears. We plan to meet at the Alexandria show in September and have a reunion face to face. Before I signed off (it was midnight over there) I told him today, at that minute, he had called and lifted me up from a sad sad place. His enthusiasm was shared and I had received it. Thanking him as best I could, I sat in awe of someone up there. Just what I needed when I needed it. I did the math. The little boy in the stroller is now a sixteen year old and I'm an old man. It is most humbling to know that in my playing with paints, another is blest. And that years later, that one could reach out and bless me. Then, as if with a bolt of lighting, I was struck with the idea, "What if that's the way most people feel about the art?" I hit my knees in gratitude for each and everyone of you.tom barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02144601988310590716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568812056641840036.post-78053516832824852562014-02-27T04:06:00.000-08:002014-02-27T04:06:12.859-08:00La Quinta Arts Festival 2014Time again to celebrate the beginnings of the Tom Barnes Fine Art, LLC launch onto the national art scene. In 2002, Glen Cole and I drove across the Overland Pass in a blizzard to reach sunny California and the La Quinta Arts Festival. Every year since I have made it back out for the show and have been amazed and humbled by the response. I have made fast freinds there and each year look forward to returning to that beautiful scene. This year Tyler is going with so I am especially looking forward to the 80-hour van drive there and back. Gail's taking care of the homeland and keeping the home fires burning. What would I do without her constant vigilance on my diet, my rest, my mental stability and my creature comforts? The Zolberts, the Seifferts, and the Duncans are all joining us for dinner the last night of the show so a raucus reunion is in the offing. And I am packing 40+ Ladies for the journey. May they all find a home! Here's a sneek peek at the show... Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Am dropping by Atlanta to deliver a 7' x 4' canvas of Five Ladies... I won't know their names til I get there; the Mclamars have chosen whoat to call each of them based on their study of personalities!<br />

Rob Harris of DE Fine Art collected 10 pieces this weekend to take on his travels into Florida. Several galleries will be touted with the Ladies... St. Augustine, Ft LAuderdale, West Palm, Key West, Naples to name a few. We'll see... and now for a look-see at the new pieces that are now thrown into the National Gallery Market Place, may they all sell! An update on the California Galleries: Carmel, Laguna Beach, and San Diego are showing the Ladies with pride.<br />

In November of this year, I placed some pieces in Mary Martin Gallery in Charleston SC. Mary had found me when I first began painting in Denver CO and bought a Long Neck Lady for her personal collection. She contacted me after some 12 years and asked if I might be interested in showing in her gallery. It was a no-brainer because she has a beautiful place on Broad St. in the artsy district of downtown (and just 2 hours from my studio!). A few sold right off and I sent more. A day or two later, Mary called and asked if I minded meeting someone who was interested in my art via the phone. I was pleased to meet Rob Harris, principal in De Fine Art, Atlanta GA. Rob and his father have had a successful art agency for 20 years, have developed a network of galleries, and sell artists from all over the world, Alvar to name one. Rob invited me to Atlanta with the intention of developing a professional relationship whereby I might sell my work to some 60 galleries in the US. After much noodling and working out details, and trying on the new approach, Tyler and I went to the showroom in Atlanta and were bowled over with the prospects. I was flattered and embarrassed and excited and all the things one would be with such an offer. I knew, however, it would mean a business model change, having planned something like this when I turned 70 and could not put up the tent any more. But you know the old adage, "man makes plans, God laughs!" The Beloved often interrupts my plans to direct me towards the next place I am to be and it seems like this is ordained... if for no other reason than to teach me humility! On the way home from the meeting, Tyler said, "You know Dad, you were finally sitting in a room with three other men of integrity who want you to be successful. Did you feel the goodness all around you?" And I did, at that moment I realized he had seen into a dynamic that I have not had before. I have been the lone wolf for so long I did not even recognize the pack! And it feels good. I am amazed and humbled by this support and have reckoned that I will trust in the Almighty and His provision. What comes of this is all fantasy until we get some days behind us. But Rob and Robert Harris have taken it on to accept my work, frame it, and negotiate with their network of galleries to sell my art work. I am honored and thankful.<br />

What does this mean for my business? Well, first of all, I will not have to do as many shows. I will still travel to some of the "musts." Stockley Gardens in May and October is a must. The folks there have been faithful and true to supporting me, some owning as many as 27 pieces over the 20 years of painting. La Quinta Arts Festival is a must, if for no other reason than to visit with my dear friends Bill and Denise Zolbert who have opened their hearts and home to me for the two weeks of showing. Alexandria is also a must because I have developed a following there which I can not disregard. Perhaps Chicago still hits the list because Bob and Bev Seiffert live there and the Gold Coast show is proving to be worth the 34 hour round trip.<br />
<br />
It also means that my prices have doubled. A great shock to me and perhaps to those who have collected me over the years. Great for them in that their work has suddenly doubled in value! A shock because they are not used to the higher prices. The Harrises were good to let me keep my relationships in tact, and with the collectors I will always have a price for their loyalty.<br />
<br />
The other big change is that I will no longer offer prints. This part of the business is steady and profitable - when I promote it - but it might be interesting to note that over the past year, I have purposefully not promoted it. Seemed like I was returning to my roots already; I went into the print business reluctantly. I really just wanted to do originals but I am not sorry I followed good advice and developed it. I met some wonderful folks along this path.<br />
<br />
I am excited about the future. I have painted many pieces for the first onslaught of gallery sales. Now we see. I will try to keep posted the events... good or bad. Whatever chapter in my career this comprises, it needs to be written. And maybe, read.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the latest pieces, many going to Atlanta and points beyond, many going to the Florida shows I had booked and paid for and so must attend.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! <br />

For the Venice FL show this coming weekend I had to paint a lot of images... mainly because Stockley was so very successful and I was inventory depleted. A great problem to have but I had ordered canvases and got down to the wire receiving them... so, I had to invent a new process... I have often worked on several paintings at a time. Mainly because the "zone" is so hard to get into and maintain what with having to mow the lawn once in awhile. I needed 9 nine pieces, three 30" square, three 24" inch square, and three 16 x 20s. I cranked up the Pandora station and put it on shuffle. Then I laid all the canvases out, cleaned them to break down the factory sizing and began to sketch. I sketched them all in one day and then began the color design. The color plan took about 24 hours, but working on one color throughout the entire collection I didn't have to clean the palate as much. Thought this was interesting and that I would share it with my friends and patrons. The final products of each will be posted too but first I have to get them to my webmeister for posting there... they are in Wet Paint on the website at<br />

Friday Night is the Preview Show at Lee Designs, 1020 King Street, from 6PM to 9PM... My lovely wife, Gail, will be in attendance so it's a great time to meet the prettier side of my life and the one, whom many say, inspires all my Lady paintings. Here's a sneak look at a few of the new pieces... Note the colors and textures... These are the latest in my experiments and combine watercolors with oil pastel. I've had fun playing with the combinations and am ready to show the efforts to my patrons and clients. Let's see what they think!<br />

I just received this photo from Benedicte Lecat of Com2Art. Benedicte is making sure I sweep the European continent with art and is representing me in those efforts! She has sold a few pieces in Brussels and is planning the management of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts in the Carrousel du Louvre for 2013....<br />
<br />
"My Three Graces" is a 30" (76.2 cm) x 30" (76.2 cm) watercolor on canvas and certainly represents my work with the Ladies. It will be removed from the stretcher bars, rolled in a tube and shipped to Cannes where Benedicte will work with the framer to re-stretch and mount in the show December 15-18, 2013 in the Carrousel du Louvre.<br />
<br />
I have prints available of this one too, so that those who have begun "the Paris collection," now have three to choose. (Available @ <a href="http://www.tombarnesfineart.com/">www.tombarnesfineart.com</a>)<br />
<br />
This one is spoken for as I have promised Tyler that I would add the first three pieces shown there into his private collection (quite an impressive grouping already!)<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to the next show on King Street, Alexandria VA, September 7-8.<br />
Then I'll be in the studio working on images for Stockley Gardens, Norfolk VA, October 19-20.<br />

A WORD ABOUT CHICAGO 2013:</div>
<br />
<br />
To all those who bought and admired and shared the two weeks of art in Chicago, I give my heartiest thanks! The time there was special and was so easy and rewarding... for a guy who seeks comfort, I was richly rewarded. I am ever grateful for the patronage. My friends, Bev and Bob Seiffert, opened their immense and warm home to me and the private showing they orchestrated brought many of their friends into my space. I was most appreciate for this extra effort. It was all very enchanted! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.tom barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02144601988310590716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568812056641840036.post-32507046028771303552013-05-13T04:47:00.000-07:002013-05-13T04:47:03.885-07:00Another Award and on the road again! Got an email this week from the High Commisson of the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters in Paris and I've been awarded a BRONZE MEDAL for the submission to the Louvre last year, <em>Sadie and Sally</em>. I won't be able to hop the pond to pick up the certificate or attend the awards dinner and exhibit, but I am honored. These prizes are given out each year from a group selected by the Academy during the National Society of Fine Arts' December exhibit. I had to send "a body of works" and even a criminal background check to be considered! On antoher note, my representative Benedicte Lecat has been showing four pieces traveling now to several galleries in Europe: Brussells (February), Barcelona (April), Cannes (July). She was delighted to be able to add this award to my tiny list of accomplishments...<br />

Back in the studio and working with a passion. Life here in south Georgia has a smooth and mild pace; sunshine and just enough rain to keep the new plantings springing up. It has been a beautiful time. Looking forward to the next two shows, Stockley Gardens Art Festival in Norfolk VA (May 18-19) and Hilton Head Island Art Festival in SC (May 25-26)... A few new pieces are in the works and coming together. Here's a sampling... (Sizes and Prices available by calling 757.477.2599)<br />

I've finished most everything from the La Quinta show, paid the CA resale tax, and shipped out all the pieces remaining. I like this time back in the studio because I can reflect on the events of the past few weeks and do a few things to "nest" in my space. I am sharing some of the art work which has been completed and shipped. We are spending next week with Tyler and Grace in Ponte Vedra, FL and looking forward to our face to face time. <br />
