EnglishWhat Is kaybarnes.com About?
Updated
kaybarnes.com is the official website of Kay Barnes, presented there as a "Master Artist / Master Teacher." It functions as an online gallery of her original paintings and as a statement of her teaching philosophy, summarized in the site's tagline, "Live and learn artfully!" If you are looking for her artwork, titles, sizes, and listed prices, or for her view on how painting is learned, that is what the site offers.
What the site contains
The homepage is built around two things: a featured selection of paintings and a short note on learning to paint.
The featured paintings
Each featured work is listed with a title, the medium ("Treated Paper"), dimensions, and a price. The works shown on the homepage are:
| Title | Medium | Dimensions | Listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coral Roses | Treated Paper | 16" x 20" | $300 |
| Montana Sunset | Treated Paper | 16" x 20" | $400 |
| Thunder Falls | Treated Paper | 22" x 30" | $1,250 |

| Loves Me, Loves Me Not | Treated Paper | 15" x 22" | $750 |
| Fragrant Azaleas | Treated Paper | 15" x 22" | $800 |
| I'm Stumped! | Treated Paper | 11" x 15" | $300 |
| Anticipation | Treated Paper | 11" x 11" | $300 |
| Meet me at the Pass | Treated Paper | 15" x 22" | $400 |

| Great Grapes | Treated Paper | 22" x 30" | $900 |
| Swallowtail Butterfly | Treated Paper | 16" x 20" | $600 |
A "View All Paintings" link indicates the homepage selection is a subset of a larger gallery. The subjects range across florals, landscapes, wildlife, and still life, so the site is not limited to a single genre.
The teaching side
Alongside the gallery, the site states a position on skill: "Painting is a skill: You have muscle memory in fingers and eyes. With practice, you can develop your skills." This frames the site as both a showcase and a teaching platform, consistent with the "Master Teacher" label.
Who it is for
- Buyers or browsers of original art — the gallery gives you titles, dimensions, and prices up front, so you can judge size and cost before inquiring.
- Aspiring painters — the stated philosophy positions painting as a developable skill rather than innate talent, which is the premise behind the teaching role.
- Anyone verifying the artist — the site is the primary source for how Kay Barnes presents herself and her work.
What to keep in mind
The listed prices are those shown on the site at the time of writing and apply to the specific works and sizes shown; they are not a general price list for commissions or other pieces. The site does not state shipping, payment, or purchase-process details on the homepage, so if you intend to buy, treat the listed price as a starting point and confirm the transaction terms directly. Likewise, no class schedules, lesson formats, or fees appear in the material available, so the teaching philosophy should be read as a statement of approach rather than an offer of specific instruction.
