Welcome to Barb's Blog. Posting some of my opinions, insights, ideas, and adventures about art, travel, plein aire, pastel, and whatever's happening. Join me, feel free to add comments, follow along as I paint and write and explore A Painting a Day
Painting a little every day - even if it is a short study, or a small ATC card (artist trading card at 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 .) it is amazing at the difference it makes in skills, confidence, technique and most of all, pleasure. Try it. Pick a subject, medium, idea, project and do a piece every day. It is habit forming and inspiring. Ice Breaking is availableIce Breaking is the children's book Kyle Torke and Barbara Torke have, written, illustrated and published. This collaboration is being published, by Loving Healing Press, and is available in hardcover and soft-cover from Amazon. we're really excited by the way the book turned out, and feel we have a publisher who wants the best for kids and their support systems. I couldn't be happier.

A new season like none before. Let’s start the year with good intentions, or resolutions, and keep on making good art, good friends and positive additions to the world with our own talents, and strengths.
Santa's New-fangled Christmas 9Yes. As you know, it worked out all right. Mrs. Claus gave Santa some ear buds to listen to the GPS directions, so Rudolf never knew he was being helped. Mrs. Claus also made chicken gingerbread soup for Donner and he perked right up and hurried to the sleigh. She recorded GORT and promised Cupid when he got back he could have popcorn, too. She did get a little worried when Santa came home very late. It seems when Mr. Carbuncle and his son Wally crept down to the living room as the sun came up, Santa was still there. It was almost noon before Wally got his presents. And Santa had still not figured out a use of Wally's new fidget spinner. He drove home very relaxed in the bright snow and sun.
