Douglas Barron
Guild Member Salon Show
“October Sun,” Oil on gallery wrap, 2020, 36 x 36 in, $1200. We were exploring Wilderness State Park this fall, and we came upon this little white pine, being lit up from the afternoon sun. It was a great reference photo that offered a good composition, shadows, and color palette.
Douglas Barron ABOUT: Douglas J. Barron is an emerging artist known for his Realism oil painting. Born and raised in Michigan, Doug focuses on studio work but also enjoys plein air painting. The four seasons enhance his favorite subjects; landscapes and architecture found in everyday travels. By applying the strengths of his medium to achieve rich compositions with vibrant hues, Doug transports the viewer to a favorite place and time. Doug finds a great deal of enjoyment in gardening and cooking at his home in a rural zip code. From his spouse and family, he finds continual sources of inspiration and love. GALLERIES: Studio 23 / The Art Center, Bay City, MI; Lilac Gallery on Mackinac Island, Mackinac Island, MI THIS YEAR: 2020 was a very interesting year to be creative. I know that many of my artist friends used their medium for escapism. Moving to Northern Michigan in September has given me new inspiration to get out and explore the area and create from what I find on hidden roads and/or little lakes. CONTACT: Website, Facebook, Instagram, (313) 920-6734. Studio visits available by appointment.
“White Pine,” Oil on gallery wrap, 2020, 30 x 40 in, $1500. We came upon Deadman’s Overlook Hill this fall and loved the colors of the Jordan River Valley. Deadman’s Hill is a beautiful vista with one of the most beloved viewing points for leaf peppers in the Lower Peninsula.
