Red



"Red and the Wolf"
Acrylic on board, 24x24" $800.00

In the past I have posted photos of art work that hangs in a community room at Unity-Unitarian Church in St. Paul.  Artists apply for the opportunity, and those who are selected are able to exhibit,  hang and place their art work for one entire month.  The images of Barbara Harman, the September artist,  illustrate aspects of fairy tales that she has loved since she was a child.

  5. This makes me think of England because it has a scary overtone to it. Fairy tales told in other countries tend to be a lot more scary that the ones told here and the funny thing is, many of them are the very same tales. I've noticed how we Americans tend to tone down the scary parts ever so slightly.

  11. My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend two weeks in the Hesse Kassel area of Germany where the Grimm brothers wrote this fairy tale.
