Barb's Page


Welcome to “Barb’s Page”--My page! Wow. I’ve wanted to have a page on the website to tell you some of the neat stuff that’s happening these days.

Well, first things first. Let me introduce myself. Hi! I’m Barb, wife of artist Lee and our home and Lee’s studio is in south central Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County. If you’ve visited our Art Studio Galleries you know that Lee paints landscapes, seascapes, old buildings, ships, boats and lighthouses.

I make no claim to the artistry skills of my husband, but writing articles, maintaining our web site and much of the ‘business” side of the studio finds its way to my desk. To keep our wonderful customers and web site visitors up-to-date, I’ve added “Barb’s Page” to share information on Lee’s new paintings, and new projects. He’s excited about my new page, too! And I’ll be sharing some seasonal tidbits from the “home front”.

Almost forgot—Ginger and Slick, the feline members of our home, send their friendly “meows”.

Welcome!

Barbara Buchanan

Early October, 2008

We’ve certainly had a very busy and productive summer; I don’t know where the time went! We worked hard at rearranging Lee’s studio as well as our workspace and offices. Our current project is to include our “Coast and Country Gift Shoppe” pages on our web site.

I can’t wait to show you the beautiful giftware we'll have for you! Coast and Country Gifts has been in the family for years and we’re happy to be bringing these great gifts to you. We’re excited!

Signing up on our Home Page for our RSS feed will keep you from missing out on the excitement as we open our Shoppe and introduce our new collection of high quality, beautiful ceramic mugs featuring some of the best of Lee’s art as well as our full line of porcelain collector ornaments in our new Gift Shoppe!
