Portrait Artist

My Photo
I paint and draw portraits on commission, from life, photographs and Skype visuals. One of the most exciting moments in my career was drawing Oprah Winfrey live via Skype during the taping of her show "Where in the Skype are you?" To commission a portrait, or purchase one of my paintings please contact me at: barbara.muir@sympatico.ca I'm exhibiting at The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City for the month of May, and at the DVAC show at Todmorden Mills, in Toronto. Galleries: Studio Vogue Gallery, Toronto, Canada. The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, New York City. Gallery at the Porch Door, Kingston, Canada.

Baby it's you



Baby it's you
acrylic on canvas
8 x 8 inches


Sometimes Saturday feels like a two week vacation, even
if you get some work done. I felt that way today.
It was an absolutely gorgeous sunny day, perfect
temperature, perfect everything -- blue sky,
spring in the air.

We had dinner out with our sons at a fabulous
and beautiful Thai restaurant, and I finished this
little painting of the mother and child.

Thanks for being there with your thoughtful
intelligence, kind encouragement and
inspiring talent.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Hi Eldon,

I'm trying to get my painting act together. Glad you noticed, and that
you like this one.

Take care,

Barbara
