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.

Short and sweet



Timbah (our older cat)
and Fiona sleeping

I hope you'll forgive me, because I'm absolutely swamped
with work. I feel quite a bit like Edgar on Arty Fice.
(See the link on my blog list).
What I really want to do is represented in the photo
of my two cats sleeping on their little lotus bed today.
It has taken about a year and four months for my
older cat to get used to the younger one. So I'm
going to sleep now. I wish you a wonderful day.
I'm proctoring exams tomorrow, and tomorrow evening
I will paint!

I can't wait.

Have an I-can't-wait-to-paint day.

In the icon on my blog roll this photo looked like a (really excellent!) painting!
My cats never composed themselves so artfully for me! ;-)

Hi Laura,

You're right, it does look like a perfect painting, and they've only done this twice. I don't know whether I'll do a painting like this, but I was grateful to them for posing.

Take care,

Barbara

Hi Eldon,

No rest for the weary this weekend.
I'm marking 117 exams and finishing two very large canvasses for a show Monday, but thanks for the kind message.
