ABOUT BARRY
Barry Selman started painting almost 40 years ago.Typically, an artist gravitates to one or more mediums: oil, acrylic, sculpture, collage, drawing, watercolor, glass, pottery, and the list goes on. Selman's choice is and has been watercolor from the beginning.
In January of 2016 Selman retired from the oil fields and really started to concentrate on his art. He has studied with the top three water colorists in the US: Mel Slabin,Tony Van Hasslet, and Tony Couch.
Selman says, "Most of my painting ideas come from glimpses of an old building, a barn falling down, or a windmill turning with just a gentle breath of air. Most people pass by these scenes and never really look, but when I look, I see amazing shapes, beautiful colors, and wonderful textures; at that moment, a painting is born. One thing I have learned is that you do not have to travel to the far corners of the globe to find beauty and inspiration. You will discover scenes worthy of painting anywhere you go, very often not far from home."
