ABOUT THE ARTIST
Barb Thoms enjoys time spent painting outdoors, being in the moment and capturing beautiful surroundings. She says “Painting en plein air focuses the senses, connects you directly with your subject and enhances the comprehension of colour and light, allowing you to capture a moment in time; in real time”.

BARB’S TOP THREE PAINTING SPOTS!
Creery Wetlands Mariners Cove: Natural wetlands, bird-life, a marina and Nourishing the Soul Café – one of her favourites.
The Mandurah CBD: There are so many options - Administration Bay behind Simmos, anywhere along the eastern foreshore, around the boardwalk precinct. Spoilt for choice!
The Thrombolites at Lake Clifton: Painting the thrombolites during low tide, from the elevated boardwalk, is quite an experience.
