framed to 18" x 22" x 3"
Calm For Roni H7627112022 by HB Barry Strasbourg-Thompson BFA Image: Here is a version of an earlier painting. I changed the SIZE of the canvas from 48 x 60 to 16 x 20" to make the painting more intimate. I changed the DIRECTION of the large lines to more horizontal to increase the calm. I increased the COLOR SATURATION to intensify the power of the calm. These two paintings were painted about 18 months apart so they reflect two different life conditions yet a definite similarity.

Ronnie came to my studio in Saltair during the summer of 2022 and fell in love with an earlier large 48 x 60" canvas. The 48 x 60 was painted shortly after I had had a small stroke. The Nanaimo Stroke Recovery Clinic had instructed me to live a calm life and had advised me that learning to live with calm was to be my part in the stroke recovery process. Ronnie didn't have a wall space big enough for the 48 x 60 so she asked me to paint a smaller version of it. Fortunately my health and my life circumstances have calmed since I had painted the earlier 48 x 60 so this painting is calmer than the earlier larger canvas.
