Carl Barks published a great many oil paintings depicting scenes from his beloved Disney duck universe, and he never ran out of ideas for new subjects that were based on his own comic book stories. This was partly because potential purchasers would furnish him with input, and partly because he had so many stories to choose from. So it was by no means a question of coming up with new ideas for upcoming paintings that, from time to time, triggered Barks to make more than one version of a certain subject. He was so interested in his work that he simply had to take some of his earlier paintings and 'refresh' them using slightly altered character positions and/or different backgrounds.
The sub-pages present you to a varied selection of some of the paintings that Barks made in more versions. You are treated to a number of sections in each sub-page, each of which have loosely identifiable headers, and the paintings are in chronological order enabling you to see how Barks developed his ideas and skills. All the published paintings in each group are included.
A presentation like this has never been accomplished before, and the listings are by no means complete as for the number of main topics! For example, you will look in vain for the numerous small - and almost identical - portraits Barks made primarily featuring Uncle Scrooge as well as for the numerous paintings depicting similar scenes from inside the Money Bin. Finally, Barks made several pastels that could fit into some of the sections, but as they are not oils they are not included, either.

NB.: It has not been the intention to present you to large, flawless renderings of the paintings from which you could really compare the differences in detail. There are several reasons for not having done so, of which the most decisive one is that the paintings cannot possibly be savoured in all their glory from a computer screen. Therefore, you are presented to the paintings as a 'comparative tool' only, helping you to find more comprehensive information on the paintings that might interest you the most.
