Barbara Slater says, "I Paint What I Love"

                Art on the GO!  . . . Painting, A Daily Endeavor

"Wool on Wool"   Oil




Barbara Slater, who has been creating oil paintings for the past four decades, is well known for her portraits of horses, pets, chickens, and cows that come to life on canvas, like her painting “Wool on Wool”.


"Summer Dazzelers"   Oil




Her life-like images portray warmth, and her landscapes  and floral still life portraits are refreshing and dramatic. She says, “I paint what I love. I try to paint passionate paintings…. not just workable paintings, I feel a heart-felt connection to my work.

 Finding out what skills I have and what skills I need to improve is a big part of my journey. Taking classes from some of the best artists out there has become an ongoing part of this goal.”
