Ballads of the Barefoot Mind: an index of the paintings

These paintings are of images evoked by the 36 ballads in my current repertoire. The complete set of 36 are represented by sepia ink and watercolor sketches on paper. Twelve ballads selected from the larger set are painted on canvas with oil paint. To learn more about Daniel Dutton's Ballad Project, click here.
