Barbara McLean Paintings

At work in the studio today and trying new directions

Warm up your cool fall days with some hot colours. Little Red and Red Sun In The Morning my recent paintings now at Peer Gallery. #abstractart, #redpaintings

Day 2 at Paint the Town and I am literally singing in the rain.Just a sprinkle which makes working with material that Ive chosen- coffee, wash pencil and acrylics more challenging- yes coffee on the canvas- but Im having so much fun!!

The first day at Paint the Town in Annapolis Royal is behind me. A gorgeous day to work outside supervised by a chipmunk which sat beside me quite a while as I worked. Fun.

See my paintings BELOW, BETWEEN TIDES at Medway Head Lighthouse show opening Friday, August 16, 5:30 to 8 at The Warehouse, Lighthouse Park, Port Medway, (exit 17A off 103) I will be sharing space with a collection of other artists. Money raised goes toward maintaining the lovely lighthouse which stands right outside the venue. Worth a visit.

Again at Peer Gallery, my big piece Weather Coming In anticipates David Pembers Study In Steel #2.

MEANDER, a vibrant gold piece, 48 x 36 recently sold to Shannex Corp. #abstractpainting #goldpainting #largepainting

A new duo exhibit at Peer Gallery, Lunenburg. Barbara McLean and Jenny Carton in Mixing It Up . Opening Saturday, May 18, noon until 4:00. Come and see new paintings and sculptures and enjoy a glass of wine with us. My painting is the one on the left. In fact this is 1/3 of a 12 foot triptych. It has a presence! Come and see !

FOR NOW up and running. Bruce Campbell did a great job hanging and organizing all the details.

These three paintings seem appropriate for the day. Weather Coming In, Winter Weather 1 and 2. They along with 23 others will be on their way to Antigonish today.

some canvases soon on their way to Antigonish for exhibition in January and February, opening January 10, FOR NOW, solo exhibition

On and Off the Wall, the Peer exhibition at Chase Gallery, Halifax, comes down today and what a success it was- enthusiastic visitors, articles in The Coast and in the Chronicle Herald with something possibly on line with VANS. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and we appreciate all of the positive feedback. Now for me, back to work in preparation for my solo exhibition, FOR NOW, in U.St.F.X., January- February 2019. SO soon!

the Peer exhibition at Chase Gallery, Halifax is just around the corner, (see the poster below). I had planned to hang a 5 foot by 12 foot triptych but I decided today that it just wasnt finished enough so here are the two paintings that will go up in its stead. Just finished today and as yet untitled! Any suggestions for that? I hope that you can make the opening. If not, drop in at any time the gallery is open.

The invitation says it all! There will be some great work on exhibit at the ON & OFF THE WALL, archives, Halifax. I have just finished a 5 foot by 12 foot triptych to hang in this exhibition. Come and visit!!

Still wet! Come and see "Intervals" at Peer Gallery later this month or in August.

I am here at Peer Gallery in Lunenburg from 10:30 - 5:30 today. This is my part of the wall. Drop in if you are in the area.
