Rebecca Barker ART on facebook

Technical issues sorted (i kind of ignored them until it sorted itself out) and now im up and running again. To celebrate here's a sneak peak at what i've been working on.
Yesterday was a good day - i finally made a facebook page dedicated to my art and illustraion. Facebook is an amazing way of sharing my work on a large scale that you can manage yourself and best of all. its for free! until i get a portfolio chokka block full of decent pictures i'm holding off on getting a website designed because i want it to be amazing. this will take time and money so until i'm ready to take that plunge, please visit Rebecca Barker ART on facebook and have a look around.

if you have any questions, or if you would like to commission a piece, you can either leave a comment here or on my facebook page. please 'like' my page if you do, its great feedback

technical issues!!!

ive had a bit of a break from the land of blog to enjoy christmas, see friends and family and work on some more paintings. everything is very exciting at the begining of this new year and instead of feeling the usual january blues, i am relishing having projects to work on, aims and goals and tons of inspiration.

i was looking forward to uploading some new images of my work for you guys to look at but i don't seem to be able to,  selecting a file from my computer doesnt appear to be an option!?!?! i'll upload as soon as i can

is anyone else experiencing problems???

i am artist

well, ive only gone and done it.
i sold my first 2 paintings and i am celebrating.
3 months since i ditched my old life (one where i was a slave to my job but got paid shed loads) and became happier, healthier (poorer) and i now feel credible again.
i hope you like them as much as my customer did....

cool cara

Cara delevigne is my favourite model of the moment and it seems im not alone. she's fronted campaign after campaign and walked in any show worth mentioning. She is also a laugh. which is more beautiful than any of her gorgeous photos. see below....'on cara' vs 'fun cara'. i actually think i prefer her goofy shots.

such willingness to poke fun at herself should be applauded - as should her attitude to the recent victorias secret catwalk show that she appeared in. after weeks and weeks of seeing images of supermodels sweating in the gym, and a few shots of bloodied knuckles after too much boxing training - all to prepare for the ultimate gig, did cara join in? did she detox? eat or drink NOTHING on the day of the show???? no. on her way to the show she stopped off for a macdonalds. cara, you're my hero and i salute you x

best fur out there

as promised, here are my fav foxy coats for keeping warm and cosy this christmas... its a look that id dress up on an evening with long boots and a smart handbag. or, throughout the day, with skinny jeans and converse.

H&M sheepskin £99.99

Topshop goatskin £250

H&M faux fur £39.99

Warehouse faux fur £55

Miss Selfridge faux fur £68



How will you wear yours??

stay warm x

stay warm look cool

nothing looks cosier, cuddlier or cooler at christmas than a faux fur coat. easy to dress up or down, they are an annual favourite that never go out of style. the only rule...invest in a decent one. while i have no problem with other people wearing fur, especially of the vintage variety, its not for me. so when choosing a coat or gillet i think its important to make that investment to ensure that you dont end up looking like you've skinned Bungle from Rainbow and have thrown him about your shoulders! for those of you who arent familiar with dear old Bungle, i urge you to google him.

so choose youre faux fur wisely people, cos, baby....its cold outside.
tomorrow i will post the best from the high street.

all you need is love
