| William Barnhart at Mirada Fine Art, Troubadours Bewail, Oil on Canvas, 48" x 60" |
Considering himself a 'facilitator' of art, William Barnhart starts each of his oil paintings with absolutely no pre-conceived direction. Rather, he layers rich pigments of color until an elbow, shoulder or other image emerges. He continues to develop that path until an entire face, figure or scene emerges.

| William Barnhart at Mirada Fine Art, The Point of Relaxation, Oil on Canvas, 48" x 48" |
Combining his background in classical figure study with a texturally explorative technique allows painter/sculptor Barnhart to arrive at limitless visual destinations. Often purposely ambiguous, his art also allows viewers to create their own orger from seeming chaos, following unique paths to personal revelations. He'll frequently scratch ideas, thoughts and smaller images into the oils, revealing a history of where the painting has been and building additional visual interest.
