Are you familiar with Carrie
Ballantyne’s artwork?
I came across her work recently; obviously a
bit late to the game since Carrie has been an artist for probably more than 30
years and I am just in awe of her talent. I am not exactly sure what it is, perhaps
the colors she uses, (I am neither an artist nor a critic) but the people she
portrays seem as if they could' walk right off the page.' You will be drawn
right away to the eyes of the person she portrays; there is depth that is not usually found in others work. Her oil
aptly named North
Country Cowgirl is striking. I have several favorites including Pearl of
Santa Fe and Sterling. Guardian
of the Pup is a sweet pencil drawing that somehow reminds me of my boy.
It is artwork that you just have to sit with for a while and
perhaps you can conjure up a story behind each picture. Have a look for
yourself and let us know what you think!
