How To Use This Web Site

Welcome to the Barnes Gallery

In this online home for the Fine Art of Robert Barnes, you can view and purchase original works of art and read about the artist’s background and influences.

You can click through seven galleries and explore close-ups of selected images. The button under each piece called Image Info gives you brief descriptions that explain aspects of the art. And you can learn about upcoming exhibits, lectures, workshops and special offers through the Barnes Gallery Blog. The Video tab provides short tours of selected pieces to better to see the details.

To View the Galleries

Go to the galleries selector, at the top of each page, slide your mouse down the menu to an individual gallery, and explore it with the navigation buttons along the bottom of the images.

Click the right or left arrows on each screen to see the next image or the previous one in the gallery. You can see all the pictures in a specific gallery by clicking on the Slideshow button at the bottom of the screen.

Music is turned on and off by the tiny speaker button in the lower left corner of each gallery page.

Click the name Robert Barnes to come back to the home page. The Blog, Video and Multimedia titles open their own separate pages. Just close the window when you want to return to the main gallery site. Links behave the same way and will take you to a variety of other web sites we respect.

The ENTIRE portfolio is presented here online in extremely compressed versions. To allow reasonable download times, we have reduced the image size and sacrificed detail. We hope the beauty of the works still comes through.

For example: the image “Zion National Park” was compressed from 600 megabytes down to 110K. We want you to enjoy the images and get a sense of each piece. We include a close-up in a number of instances so you can zoom in to a representative sample of the image for a better, detailed inspection. The close-ups are found in the Multimedia tab under Image Explorer. We want you to understand that a computer screen can’t come close to showing you how these images really look (only visiting a gallery to see the quality, color and impact of these works will ever do that for you) but we are happy that you can visit us and share—in a virtual sense—our latest one-man show.
