All are original works created by Barbara Schmitz. She is an award winning artist who lives in the seaside town of Stuart, Florida. Inspiration for her work comes from both Stuart and the Eastern Shore of Virginia, her former home. She began painting when she retired and has a special interest in Chinese brush painting. All appear in this book. Byways is a work of the heart, of spirit and adventure.Barbara has created several other books available on Amazon.
