Artist, Margie Barker, continues her love of the Texas
Hill Country in her most recent painting entitled “Hill Country Blues”. She reminds the viewer of the many vistas
encountered in Texas; offering vast panoramic scenes with contours that are
inviting, valleys that are fertile with the much beloved bluebonnets and trees
that benefit from density.
“Hill Country Blues” has a composition that is central
and recedes toward gentle hills on both sides of the painting, easing into the horizon
and beyond. The colors are gentle, cool,
and refreshing with signature variations in depth that are often appreciated by
many viewers .The drifts of color are purposefully applied to reinforce the
shady areas and the contours of the slopes.
The view beyond is of the hillside, contrasted by the rugged
terrain and elevation with some rocky barrenness and haze that is another
artistic detail of the painting. Margie
Barker offers a painting of remarkable clarity and color that is closely
associated with the light of the season.
