We hope you can join us in the gallery to meet Bob and enjoy this charming body of work.  Bob comments “A little while ago one of my granddaughters gave me a gift; it was a book that was empty - full of lots of lovely blank pages. She wanted me to fill it up with memories of my life. When I finish, it’s for me to give back to her as a gift. Once I started, I found that thinking totally about my past life became quite an emotional experience: immersing myself into my childhood, remembering moments with my parents, grandparents, brothers, school friends, recalling the music of the time, a first dance, a first kiss... It became very cathartic, with the images and the feelings I was recalling beginning to make their way into my painting.This latest collection of original and limited edition art is an anthology of moments. When you have a good one, it stays with you forever. Your memory is like a scrap book filling up with life as time goes by.” Bob Barker Collection
