Glass
Garden

I tried to emulate the style and bright colors
of a stained glass window, with a floral theme.
I love the color contrast
and intricate detail of the stained glass art that
I come across.

Fun With Horses
Adrienne Shoen
Artist’s Interpretation:
Horses were one of the very first things I learned
to draw as a kid, and I spent a lot of time obsessing
over them, as little girls are prone to do. I no
longer imagine having one or ten grazing in my yard,
but when I looked at this barrel for the first time,
I thought of it as a good excuse to paint one...
or ten.

It's Raining
Cats
Adrienne Shoen
Artist’s Interpretation:
The thought of a massive, intimidating dog wearing
something with little cat faces all over it just
seemed funny to me.

Mountains Meet

by the beauty of the world above. The ocean is full

Age, Beauty,
and Grace
Cheryl Ambrose
Artist’s Interpretation:
I love to look at the squiggly grain lines of weathered
oak planks and the beautiful ruffles on the petals
of old fashioned hollyhocks. The two seem naturally
compatible. I wanted to use a colorful twist on
an aged dreary backdrop. To reveal the patterning
of each by preserving the grain of the barrel while
trying to capture rich texture of the flowers with
paint, I added shadows for greater depth and hoped
to allude to the feeling of sunlight being cast
directly onto natural elements….Aging with
beauty and grace. Perhaps I was thinking of a health
conscious garden filled with the colorful vibrancy
of youth because of this barrel of fresh rainwater
is always in abundant supply and always close at
hand. Hmmm…Or…perhaps I was wishfully
thinking of myself at this age in my own life…
Bio:
I am the art teacher for Burgin Independent in Mercer
County. We have a small community school for Kindergarten
through the 12th grade. I have had a passion for
art for as long as I can remember. When I was offered
the opportunity to work with Bluegrass PRIDE in
the ‘Bring on the Barrels’ project I
tossed around several ideas for a painting, when
I thought of one of my favorite artists - Georgia
O’Keefe.

Dos Gardenias
con Vino
Autumn Foushèe
Artist’s Interpretation:
This barrel was inspired by the rich voice of Omara
Portuondo and the song “Dos Gardenias para
Ti”—a collaboration between Portuondo
and the Afro-Cuban All-Stars. She sings in my mind
all the time. The beauty and fragrance of gardenias
are just as intoxicating as a smoothly rich, red
wine spilling from this barrel. Combine Omara’s
voice, dos gardenias, and vino for a sweet rumba
dance on a warm summer night.
Interpretación de Artista:
Este barril fue inspirado por la voz rica de Omara
Portuondo y la canción “Dos Gardenias
para Ti”—una colaboración entre
Portuondo y los Afro-Cubano All-Stars. Ella canta
en mi mente todo el tiempo. La belleza y el perfume
de gardenias son así como intoxicando como
un rociar lisamente rico de vino tinto de este barril.
Combine la voz de Omara, dos gardenias, y el vino
para un baile dulce de rumba en una noche tibia
del verano.

Blue Hills
of Kentucky
Autumn Foushèe
Artist’s Interpretation:
As a Kentucky native, I have grown up appreciating
the natural beauty of Kentucky. For every person,
whether born and raised here or a Kentuckiana convert,
there is “something” that draws you
to stay or to return someday. The key ingredients
in my Kentucky sense of place are those foggy, blue,
evening hills gently rising and falling as the moon
chases the summer sun into the valleys. Blue Hills
of Kentucky keep on rolling and summer sun, keep
on shinin’ on me!

Peace
Jennifer Patrick
Artist’s Interpretation:
As humanity we can not find peace if we are at war
with the environment. Peace starts when there is
a contract between the social, economic and environmental
components of our world directed to establish balance,
equality and conservation. |

Views of Kentucky
Decker Ringo
Artists Interpretation:
Inspired by the photography of James Archambeault,
this barrel presents three scenes of Kentucky. These
scenes depict Kentucky heritage unmarred by pollution
or urban sprawl. It is this heritage which every
Kentuckian and every visitor to Kentucky has the
fortune to enjoy and the responsibility to preserve.

This painting was inspired by different hair colors

Sunset
Greg Hosfield
Artist’s Interpretation:
Sunset is when some of the nicest colors come
out in the sky. It is the end of the day and time
to relax. It is when people find their way out
to the yard after a day at the office. Sunset
is when the plants get watered and the lawn mowed.
It is when this rain barrel gets to play and be
a part of the family
Bio:
Greg is a graduate of the University of Kentucky
College of Architecture who currently works at
Tucker & Booker Inc. in Louisville, KY. He
is 26, and lives in Frankfort.

Healthy Water, Healthy Planet
Mercer Co High School
Artists’ Interpretation: We wanted to show
the interconnectedness of the environment and
how we all depend on clean water for our survival.
Mercer County is primarily an agricultural community
so we attempted to portray our own natural environment
on our barrel. We decided to paint in the round,
a scene which would be typical of Mercer County.
We wanted to show that there is a lot more going
on in the environment than what we can see on
the surface.
Bio: This group consists of an exceptional group
of students in grades nine through twelve who
all seem to love to paint. The barrel project
fit in quite nicely with tow other PRIDE projects
with which my students are involved. They are
in the process of constructing a butterfly garden
in the outdoor classroom. Painting this barrel
was great fun for many of the students. They worked
in small groups to finish it, with several students
putting in time after school. Watching it evolve
was an enjoyable experience for everyone.

of the vertical symmetry of the barrel, and tried
to show that off using an aquatic theme. The horizontal
bands appear to hold the fish tightly together.

Many Horses
Wesley Turner
Artist’s Interpretation: Sweet grass and

placed on the land, water and their horses. This
painting is to merely show a possible day in the
life of a people I love and respect.

Mayflower
Robert Boreland
Bio:
Robert Borland attends Minds Wide Open art center,
where he passionately paints colorful, layered
paintings that express his inner emotions so well
that one can feel his struggles and his joys that
compel him to paint. Watching Robert paint is
a life changing experience, as he closely watches
the colors of paint roll and fold over each other,
and as he carefully—almost daintily—pushes
his brush around the canvas. The next moment he
is using large, sweeping, expressive strokes that
cross right over his carefully layered work. The
end result is sometimes bold, sometimes soft and
sweet, almost always emotional for the viewer
as one becomes a part of Robbie’s Art.

Shapes
Jacob & Lyle Turner

Shunkamne

means Water Horse in Lakota. This barrel is a
companion to the large " Many Horses"

in the Lakota world. These two forces are strong
and essential to the world.

Spring Study
Morgan Royalty
Artist’s Interpretation:
This piece was an experiment dealing with color
and pattern and the graphic effect that can be
achieved with repetition and symmetry. For this
piece I drew inspiration from the traditional
art of the Pennsylvania-Dutch and the Scandinavian
people. Along with those, I was influenced by
many other countries and cultures, which blend
together in a style that I have been experimenting
with and working on for the past few years. And
yes, that is colored pencil. I am not a painter—I
am more of a textile/print/ceramic artist. I was
comfortable with the pencils and I loved the grainy,
but vibrant quality it gave to my designs.

Morgan is a senior at Eastern Kentucky University.
She plans to teach Art at the elementary level
to help kids realize their creative capabilities.

Hallucinogenisis
Steve Casals
Artists Interpretation:
Hallucinogenesis is the spontaneous generation
of hallucination. Close your eyes very tight...then
blast them open! For a split second, everything
equals everything else. But then Hallucinogenesis
occurs and your cerebral cortex cogitates otherwise
useless data--through memory--and gives it meaning.
Bio: Stephen Casals was born in Oklahoma, moved
to Japan as a very young child, bounced all over
the globe as an Air Force Brat, and ended up in
Lexington to raise children and run three special
programs for adults with developmental disabilities--

Underwater Splendor
Kelly White
Artist’s Interpretation:
When was the last time you walked beside the ocean,
listened and watched nature in all her splendor?
My inspiration for this barrel was the ocean.
The vast simplicity of oceanic life—the
calming effect of simply watching fish in their
natural environment inspires us all to keep our
streams, rivers and oceans clean; so, generations
after us can also enjoy natures wonders.
Bio:
Kelly White is originally from Buffalo New York,
but has called KY home for the last 15 years.
She is a member of Stoner Creek Arts, which is
the art guild of Paris Kentucky. Her preferred
media is colored pencil and pencil, but she works
with anything that allows her to be creative.
In the past few years Kelly has done a lot of
commissioned portrait work, both animals and people.
In November of 2003 she had a “one woman”
show at the Central Bank Gallery in downtown Lexington,
displaying a total of 25 pieces for 3 weeks.
