What?!?! It's August?

8/2/2017

 
Like everyone else I talk to, its been BUSY.
Somehow I managed to get some new paintings on the studio walls & out the door
​PLUS have a little fun/adventure along the way.

Picture
I found a new color pallet, grabbed my favorite crappy brush & loosened up my stroke

​
Picture
Baby blue how I love you...

​
Picture

I'm so attracted to lilacs. And there's a little bit more of that wonderful baby blue...


​
After 10 years of NOT painting murals, I accepted the challenge once again. 
I enjoyed every minute of it!


​
Picture
Some days I still wanna paint these teeny tiny paintings and I have no idea why.

​
Picture
I've been asked to make magnets for so many years. I FINALLY took the plunge.
​(And YES. Sometimes its ok to work in your jammies)


Picture
These are my very first batch of ENHANCED PRINTS and I am 100% thrilled with them.

​

Picture
The chaos while tagging, pricing and packing for an art fair is my least favorite thing.

​
Picture
It's so satisfying to hang all of my hard work.
And so nice to see each piece leave the walls and go into the hands of happy customers!
Yay to people who buy my paintings I appreciate you so much!

​2017 spring was not all work and no play.
Picture
In order to paint nature, one must BE IN NATURE.
So I climbed a few mountains with my two loves.

​
Picture
Ohhhhh Bayfield Wisconsin we adore you.

​
Picture
Cant help it. I love glamping. 

​
Picture
Neil and I went on several necessary adventures to enhance my paintings of course!
As you may know, the desert is one of my favorite places now.


​


​More adventures to come and certainly more paintings!
I'm ready for you Fall of 2017.

I will be preparing all month for the
Riverfront Fine Art Fair in Northfield, MN
It is held Sept 9 & 10 from 10-5 during the
Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration.
Its a fun event!
Please find me on the other side of the river
where it's shady and cool and say hi :)

For the month October my larger paintings will be
on display and for sale at the Barrel Room in Menomonie WI.
This is a WONDERFUL place to enjoy wine, music and art!
You could visit my studio in downtown Menomonie (616 3rd st),
wander over to the Barrel Room for wine (25 steps from my studio door),
then come back to the studio and make me laugh!

​see ya :)

    STUFF
    ​to know

    Hi, I'm Carla.
    ​This is a blog about my life and work so you can get to know me a little better!


    For several years, my painting business
    was known as  
    The Barefoot Studio 
    I am fading out the "barefootstudio" part of my name so that I can just use
    my OWN name:
    CARLA BROWN
    I like it!

    Lets keep it simple from now on. Yay simplicity!

    I love to paint.

    When not painting on wood, I'm painting on canvas (and all over the floor and my clothes). 

    The newest adventure in the studio is the addition of prints adhered to wood.
    OH FER FUN!
    Seriously it's been a blast and has changed the direction of this business in so many exciting ways!


    I have a strong connection and curiosity with trees and plants. The patterns they create with the sky and air as their background are intriguing. Because of this relationship, the elements of nature often appear in my paintings.

    Words and quotes are frequently incorporated  into my paintings. I like to make people laugh! I like to touch peoples souls. Life is SO big, yet so precious. The little moments are important to me.
    ​
    THANKS TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO PURCHASED EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ART THIS YEAR. NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, WITHOUT YOU ARTISTS WOULD STARVE AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE SAD AND GRAY. YAY YOU!

    Color makes us happy.
