We had another great Sounds and Sights event last Thursday evening! The weather was beautiful and downtown Chelsea had a great turnout. Many of those people found their way into the Gallery where ‘Artist in Residence’ Barbara Anderson was painting.
During her three-hour demonstration Barb nearly completed two 12″ x 12″ canvases. Barb’s work is very eclectic, as she’s always experimenting with texture, color and technique. On Thursday she painted with acrylics using a spatula, creating very textural and colorful surfaces.
Barbara involved children and other visitors in her work by asking them to suggest colors and critique her color choices. “People was surprised by the unusual color combinations and how well seemingly unrelated colors can work together”.
Barbara’s work is often described as expressing “an abundance of happiness, pleasure and joy.” The entire Gallery vibrated with that good energy on Thursday night!
