Love the colours and the movement
Barbara Sparhawk
Thank you, Ciska!
Looked at your art, I can see why. Your paintings are all color and action. Nice work.
DawsonImages
Nicely abstract and colorful
Barbara Sparhawk
Thanks Dawson. I don’t usually do abstracts, but sometimes they pop out of me. I had my first garden in years last summer to a place I moved into a year ago, and the profusion of plants and color I was hauling home overwhelmed me. New life everywhere!! Growing things!!

screamqueen
wow.. this is simply amazing, the colours are so beautiful!!
Barbara Sparhawk
Thanks screamqueen. I was working with all these plants and my brain was exploding with the colors. Thank God for paint. I lived through it. It’s not an easy life we’ve all chosen, but what a great way to deal with our hearts.
Barbara Sparhawk
Thank you Mare, you make me feel as if I ‘got’ it.

Excellent composition. Barbara
Barbara Sparhawk
One of those bursting out of me paintings, I’m so glad you like it. Thanks, Paul.
Angela Stewart
Stunning use of colour!
Vasile Stan
Very beautiful and musical composition with harmonious and happy colors.
Barbara Sparhawk replied
Thanks so much, iCandor. Interesting for you to say, it was musical in that it was kind of effortless, flowing, very happy.
Vasile Stan
That’s exactly what I meant when I said musical, that was the feeling I had when I looked at it.
Mia1
What a beautiful abstract. Love the colours
Barbara Sparhawk replied
Much appreciated, Mia1. It was joyful to paint, throughly liberating.
billyboy
Again, I love the way you make use of color. And what’s so special about this to me is that every time I look at it, I see something I missed before. Anything that can hold my attention for as long as this has, I consider great art. This is stunning work!
Barbara Sparhawk replied
Billyboy, your comments are making my day. Very kind, all the thought so appreciated. There was a moment in my youth, a very long time ago, that I suddenly recognized that color IS life. I hadn’t known that before, and never looked back. And interestingly enough, the adventure continues.
