This Winter I Could Only paint Spring Flowers (Back to events)

This Winter I could only paint Spring flowers features new work by Buffalo artist Barbara Baird. Join Barbara and friends at the opening reception tonight.
Barbara Baird, well known artist throughout New York, was born and bred in Eden, where she still spends half the year. Eden is a farming community about 25 miles south of Buffalo so she is very familiar with its environs. Therefore, it is no surprise that much of her work is based on the rural landscape, exploring the patterns and lines that imposed by us on the randomness of Nature. The roads, silos, plowed fields, orchards and planted crops all bestow a beautiful symmetry and geometry upon the earth, imparting the most logical way to get from one point to another, and thus creating endless vanishing points on the horizon. Found objects, such as nests, bones, dead insects and dead birds are also an important part of her subject matter. And what painter is not occasionally beguiled by those enticing flowers? For the first time in a solo exhibition, Barbara will debut all those enticing flowers. We invite you to explore Barbara Baird's inspiration in this unique show.
