Artist

Gaylord Barrington

     Unlike hand-tinters of old, he applies multiple layers of color, blending, highlighting and shadowing directly on his black and white photograph, not the palette. This is done using small brushes, cotton swabs, cotton balls and toothpicks. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful and amazingly three dimensional piece of art. His images react dramatically to light, achieving an almost holographic effect.

   Gaylord finds, studies and shoots his subject, develops film in his own darkroom to his standards, and then painstakingly hand-tints the images to archival standards. Each piece is painted one at a time over a period of several weeks, allowing time for the layers to tack dry in between applications.When he is satisfied with his results, the art is sprayed with a coat of ultra-violet inhibiting lacquer to protect it. They should never be framed behind glass.

   “My goal is to make the viewer feel they are standing at the location looking at the actual scene,” says Gaylord Barrington about his work.

    Gaylord's newest image-"Newport Bridge" is a breathtaking view of the covered bridge off Highway 20.
