Charlie Barr is a Seattle painter whose paintings are meant to set a mood or evoke emotion. His work rarely reflects social statements and any social interpretation should be subtle at best.
In these new landscapes, Barr appreciates the timelessness and tradition of oil as a medium and explores it as a welcome departure from the technology that has become a part of our daily lives. Strong composition holds the viewers interest and every inch of the canvas has movement without sacrificing the overall composition.
