On Contrast | helen barker
https://helenbarkerpainting.com/2015/03/08/on-contrast
Thoughts on painting, art and life. The danger of contrast is, perhaps, that the eye must seek out a form from a formless face and, in the words of Captain Picard, “make it so”.

Way back in | helen barker
https://helenbarkerpainting.com/2015/02/16/way-back-in
Thoughts on painting, art and life. Half term is here and the consuming ritual of school has ceased for a week. After a beautiful weekend away in the Peaks I am re-kindled with that wondrous mix of nature, architecture and light – particular only to Yorkshire. And I remember thinking, is there a way back in? Haven’t painted for months. Haven’t written, spoken or allowed myself to think about painting. Is there a way back in? February 16, 2015. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Studies in oil part 1 | helen barker
https://helenbarkerpainting.com/2016/09/19/studies-in-oil-part-1
Thoughts on painting, art and life. Studies in oil part 1. When I decided to come back to painting, after taking a short break to advance my day-job in design, I knew it had to be in oil. I had unfinished business. Previous paintings were exploratory but naive. This time I wanted to paint for myself, from the heart, and with the confidence I knew I harboured somewhere within. But I didn’t know how to start. This is my interpretation. September 19, 2016. One Comment to “Studies in oil part 1”.
