Quaker Oats, Beacon Hill (18×22 oil painting on panel)

A wonderfully versatile artist, Barbara Johnson paints a variety of subjects, including landscapes, still lifes, and interiors. Light plays an important part in the way she renders her subject matter by highlighting specific details of the scene. Her paintings are quite realistic, and she is influenced by the Renaissance and Dutch styles of painting, among others. Barbara received her B.F.A. in Painting from Indiana University and her M.F.A. in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts. She lives in MA and exhibits at galleries and shows throughout the US.
