News and Events with Barbara Moultrie

In December, 2002, my father, Charles D. Black, Sr., became quite ill and it was up to the family to take the best care of him possible. Being a night owl like my Dad, my part was to stay up with him and be available for him through the night. I tried to do my painting while I stayed with him, but it was just too much to carry back and forth and was not working out as I would check on him every 15 to 20 minutes throughout the night. Daddy always liked my drawings and I had not done any for a long time, so I got a sketch book and pencils and I drew while I was with Daddy. I feel like he gave me my drawing back and I have done quite a few that I am offering on this site. My signature now is for my Dad who always said people would know I was his if I signed my full name - Barbara Black Moultrie - so that is my signature on all my work now. Thanks, Daddy. (Daddy passed away on April 30, 2003 and life is just not the same.)

And the winner is...

The painting shown on the Paintings and Prints page of this site was painted by me as an expression of how I felt about how breast cancer left the looks of my body. I was honored when I received a certified letter in the mail announcing to me that my painting had been chosen in the 2001 contest I had entered it in at Baptist DeSoto Cancer Center. The contest was to procure artwork to hang in the Cancer Center to be an inspiration for those that would be treated there. I attended the opening ceremony of the Cancer Center and was proud to have my painting among those of the other winners. There were 13 winners of the contest. In 2002, I entered another painting in the Baptist "Brushed by Cancer" contest for artwork to be procured for an auction that would benefit the cancer center. My painting was not chosen for the calendar that was made up for that year; however, I was asked if my painting could be auctioned off and I gladly donated it for that cause.
