`Butterfly Series I` 5 x 5 oil on canvas |

| Barbara Royal |
A lyrical, poetic world is revealed in my radiant artwork. My passion is color. I also have a strong interest in texture. As I play with paint, I delight in the discovery of magical color relationships. I love to layer brilliant and boldly contrasting tones, which allows small flecks of intense color to sparkle through giving my paintings vibrancy. I try to convey an emotion the setting evokes for me, yet I leave much for the viewer`s imagination and personal interpretation. My subjects are familiar figures, objects and settings, or abstract shapes from which brilliant colors flow. The painting of a house nestled in warm tones with splashes of whimsy from a tangerine-colored tree filtering through layers of paint may provide the viewer with a sense of comport and security. Like a wonderful poem, my artwork is simple yet complex enough to engage the viewer`s frequent return to continually discover something new.
