In “It is a Shore Thing,” Barbara says this “has been a fun show theme to paint. I love living here and love the times one can observe the birds, the watermen, the wildlife, and the beautiful marshes and waterways that we are all lucky to have as part of our lives. I hope the paintings hold beautiful images for all to enjoy.”
