Barbara Strawser has painted for more than 30 years in her native Lancaster County. Her paintings brim with joyful scenes and stories of her life in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. Her works tell of the things she knows and loves…her garden, the farm, and the simple pleasures of a life well-lived among friends and family. Each piece sings its song in colors and forms that are alluring in sentiment. They ensnare sunny days in the garden, the peace that comes with work well done, and scenes from field and farm. She is one among the generations of talented and self-taught artists her family has produced (her son Daniel is a successful wood carver). Her work is exceptional in its illustrative quality, with the capacity to tell a story in small or large-scale. Diminutive brushwork adds the sweetest of details to her scenes. Her work captures me, as it does many; her following is great. I am overjoyed to present her latest creations… E-mail to see more works as they arrive or for close-up images.
