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. 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.”
Barbara, who is a member of Bend’s High Desert Art League, will be displaying her artwork with the 12 member group in October at the Broken Top Clubhouse, and also in a solo show at Desperado in the Old Mill to benefit the Equine Center. For the past five years she has been juried into Richard Schmids’ annual September Art Show in Colorado and recently exhibited her art at the prestigious Scottsdale Art School juried students’ Best and the Brightest art show. Her work is frequently featured on the cover of Ranch and Country magazine. She is also a member of the Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, and American Women Artists. www.barbaraslater.com and www.highdesertartleague.com.
