Exhibit: Barbara K. Herring

Barbara Herring has always been  one of my favorite painters

 at the Palette and Chisel for cityscapes like this one.

So neat - so orderly -  so gently upbeat - so lonely.

This is her first one woman show.

                                             

She handles these figures nicely, as well.

They're pleasant fellows

but also quite distant and anonymous,

each living in  his own world.

What city cyclist would not want to have this on his  wall?

There's something cheerful

even about this miserable situation

Young strangers conversing in a public place.

They certainly have a firm grasp

on their purses

Even the alleys and dumpsters are fresh, neat and orderly

in Barbara's world

The prices were  quite low at this  exhibition

and the sales were quite brisk.

A lot of people went home with a very good bargain.
