Artist Statement
Candy Barr’s style can be associated with painterly realists, that evolved out of Action Painting, although her mark is object bound, compared with the free and easy. She paints plein air, on location for her smaller works. The paintings are fresh in color applied alla prima, and reflect an immediate response to the subjects being painted. Inevitable changes of light force her to paint spontaneously with animated brushwork. Intense observation and prolific production deepens and insures her sense of place.
