Feathered and furry animals and insects are the preferred subjects for Barbara Chase. Narrowing her focus in this way has not limited the variety of texture, color and shape in paintings. Fairly realistic and often larger-than-life portraits of birds, bees and a variety of animals appear against more impressionistic backgrounds. Chase experiments with patterns using gels, stencils and occasionally, collage for the backgrounds which make the portraits pop.
