Barbara Masterson is a contemporary plein-air artist whose passions for life and art are seen in her colorful canvases. Painting exclusively on location with a medium that she has been using for short time- Oil bars; these are clunky chunks of color applied directly to the canvas/boards that have a new textural quality different from the brush. Barbara no longer uses brushes, only the bars, her fingers and pieces of wood to scrape the pigment. Barbara is inspired by dramatic lighting of the landscape and the peaceful mountain farm which she lives. Painting on location heightens the emotional charge and the sensual depth in Barbara's work.
