The main source for inspiration may be the Caribbean for the
majority of Al Barnes' paintings, but he is equally at home in
the coastal marshes of South Texas. Water is the binding factor
in all of his paintings, whether it's Bonefish tailing on the
flats or Pintails lifting off a tidal marsh.
Al Barnes has had numerous one man and group exhibitions to his
credit and is hung extensively in private and corporate
collections around the world, including the National Wildlife
Museum in Jackson Hole and The American Museum of Fly Fishing.
He has been National Ducks Unlimited Waterfowl Artist of the
Year, two times Texas State Ducks Unlimited Artist of the year
and Coastal Conservation Association Stamp Artist, three times
Texas Saltwater Stamp Artist, National Ducks Unlimited Stamp
Artist and two times International Game Fish Association
Featured Banquet Artist.
His work has been accepted in a
number of shows, including the Birds in Art show in Wausau,
Wisconsin, The Mystic Maritime International in Mystic,
Connecticut, the SW Pastel Society and the SW Watercolor Society
shows to name a few.
His work has also been featured in
magazines such as Sporting Classics, Gray's Sporting Journal,

Magazine.
