Thinkers are back!

Thinkers are back!

2/20/2013

Sawing, painting, drilling, sanding and smiling in the studio!

I used to make these "thinkers" often. For some reason I stopped. I woke up last week with a sudden desire to build new ones. While creating them, they take on a life of their own. It is so much fun! The barn wood is from my Grandpa Harry and Grandma Emma's barn that they built over 75 years ago. It had to be taken down and my brother, dad and I cut and saved some of the scraps. All of the other attached treasures come from the piles and drawers and boxes that I"ve collected for years in my studio.

"Vitality"
36" tall / Quote placed on inside of hinged, wooden "book" that opens behind tree painting. $285

"Not Normal"
24" tall / quote inside hinged wooden "book" $285

"Be Alright"
18" tall / bird is whispering, "every little thing is gonna be alright" $285

"Be the Soul"
24" tall / "wherever you stand be the should of that place" $285

"We're All a Little Weird"
18" tall $285

All of these new pieces, plus a few more abstract paintings on canvas and wood, can be found at Kopplins Coffee in St. Paul, MN.
They will be displayed for six weeks
and they are all for sale!
I think you want one...

Hi :)
Some of you remember my painting business as
The Barefoot Studio.
I faded 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 painting.

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

The latest adventure in the studio has been the process of adhering prints to wood.
It has taken a lot of hard work and investment to secure the process. It's been so much fun and has changed the direction of this business in so many exciting ways!

I still paint originals often and fortunately YOU keep on buying them.
Thank you!

Having these unique prints available has allowed my painting style to evolve.
It also allows for a price range that is affordable to everyone.

It takes a lot of focus, hard work, dedication and confidence to make this all happen but its worth it!

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 help people giggle! 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.
