Harriet Barber's Painting Blog: January 2014

http://www.harrietsblog.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, 30 January 2014. I know Ringstead in Dorset very well indeed. I lived for a few months in a house right on the shore, and I've painted, drawn, walked and swum there more times than I can count. Over the last couple of years I've had something of an unintentional break from drawing and painting there for a number of reasons. This week I returned with my chalk pastels and a drawing board. The finished pieces are here. Wednesday, 29 January 2014. Last week I went to visit my framer Geraint Davies.

Thursday, 17 July 2014. Harriet Barber, 1968 – 2014. 3 June 1968 – 16 July 2014. Harriet died peacefully at home in Dorset, following a long and tenacious struggle with secondary breast cancer in her lungs and liver. This blog, and her website, will be updated in the coming weeks and months. So sad and so young RIP. 17 July 2014 at 14:54. I am saddened to hear this news. Harriets energy is contagious and I will miss her posts. Thank you Harriet. 17 July 2014 at 19:38. 17 July 2014 at 22:28.

Harriet Barber's Painting Blog: April 2014

http://www.harrietsblog.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 1 April 2014. The Man With The World's Biggest Bite. I've always been a solitary painter, you could even say anti-social. If people are going to be around when I'm working I've always I tried to tuck myself out of the way, so that I don't attract attention. Frankly if I'm working, I want to work. At Ringstead this group includes kite surfers and fossil hunters. They too have things they want to get on with, but we do all chat and share experiences. Otherwise known as Kevanosaurus. In the weeks a...

Harriet Barber's Painting Blog: July 2013

http://www.harrietsblog.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 2 July 2013. My 15-year old niece Kitty kindly gave up a day to sit for me recently. Unlike most portrait painters I actively avoid working from photographs. I see a portrait's true purpose as being a way of capturing something of the subject that a photograph can't. Spending hours with someone; moving, sitting, chatting with you – means that the character, attitude and personality of that sitter will make an impression. And it is elements of that which I will try to capture. Sitting still, bein...

Sunday, 15 September 2013. Help Yourself To Figs. My joint show near Bath with Hinchcliffe and Barber. The top photograph shows my sister Polly. With a life drawing I did of her. The exhibition and space has a very stylish 'country' feel to it. Do come along if you're near enough. I'll have all of the paintings which are showing up on my website later this week.
