Portrait Artist

My Photo
Portrait artist -- I paint and draw portraits on commission, from life and using Skype visuals. One of the most exciting moments in my career was drawing Oprah Winfrey live via Skype during the taping of her TV 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 Galleries: Studio Vogue Gallery, Toronto The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, New York City

The need for action

I am a firm believer in what we've done here --
on the internet -- created a community of
artists that stretches across the world.  We've
shared so much, and directed one another to
all kinds of fascinating information, entertainment
and experiences.  Please go to Avaaz.org and
sign their petition against the hyper control
of the internet.  This affects every one of us
who loves this medium.  I am not usually
political here, but this one matters too much.

My drawing today was done mostly in my
break between classes at work.  It was a long
day today.  What I didn't finish at work I added
to at home.  My face changes between the two
places.  A lot.  But I am a ready model.
So here's today's offering.

Have a keeping-what-we've-got day.
