Paintings & Poetry
A hidden desire to paint surfaced during my retirement, and to my surprise, I discovered a real talent for it. Now, I am thrilled to showcase my very first paintings and lifelong writings online. It's been an exciting journey, and I'm honored to share my artwork with the community.
A Little About Me
I am Barbara Osborn from the northwest corner of CT. Born and raised here, I spent my growing years working on my grandparents’ dairy farm located right down the road from my childhood home in the house my parents built. I continue to live right around the corner from there in this alluringly, charming town.
I am a percussionist since 7th grade and recently performed in a community band. My interests include painting on canvas, taking photos, music and lyrics, art, color, poetry (having designed and created my own book), creative writing, and learning new things. I deeply enjoy nature, wildlife, and am a passionate advocate for all animals. In every way I am able, I support all animal rights and protections.
My love of art and color were on full display when I worked in a greenhouse and then became a floral designer. I owned a flower shop for many years, after which, I sold real estate, advertising for national magazines and RVs.
My passion for color, movement and design made me a natural for abstract painting. My love of music and lyrics lends itself to my painting. The music connects within me revealing and demonstrating emotion through my art form.
Now, I am excited to engage with my community through my artwork. And, as a poet/creative writer, I will also be sharing writings I have created throughout my life. This is the first time I have displayed my work. I hope you enjoy it and may it lend joy, color and inspriation to your life.
