Shadow

Shadow. By Trudie Schuyler Barreras. Pastel 2007. 9x12. Trudie has recently taken to drawing pastel pet portraits for dear friends. This is one of her own cats who sometimes like to "center" with her.

Castle

Castle. by Trudie Schuyler Barreras. Watercolor 1988. Painted just after a trip to England to visit daughter Tish. From a photograph. Fond memories of castle visiting with 9 month old grandson Jonathan who seemed to know which castles had ceilings -- and therefore echoed when you shouted. From the collection of Tish Gorman

MacGyver

Jackson

Pastel portrait of a child by Trudie Schuyler Barreras. Size 8 x 10. Like pets, babies are delightful subjects for pastel sketches. From the collection of Kathy Lishman

Athena

Athena, by Trudie Schuyler Barreras, Acrylic 11 x 14. This portrait of Steve's only daughter was painted in 1986 as a gift to him while he was living and working in Bethesda, MD and his wife Nidia and daughter had not yet moved there to join him. Since Athena has now married and has her own home, this portrait is in her collection.

West of the Lukachukais

by Trudie Schuyler Barreras. Acrylic, 16x20, 2008. The Lukachukai Mountains are in Northern Arizona, and were a favorite landmark when the Barreras family lived in Tsaile. This view is very near the location where Carlos went to kindergarten at Round Rock school, and it seems appropriate that this painting is now in the the collection of Carlos Barreras, Trudie's younger son.

High School Yearbook Illustration

Just for fun, since I was doing something else with my Senior Year High School yearbook, I decided to add one of a number of illustrations I did for the 1957 Viking Saga. These were pen-and-ink sketches, and were done during art class under the tutelage of the only "teacher" other than my parents that I ever had, Frank Walker. The drawings were all full page size. I am still, to tell the truth, very proud of them.
