He sold his first painting in the sixth grade, using watercraft and coastal waters as inspiration in early works. Barnes had numerous solo and group exhibitions. His works are in numerous private and corporate collections around the world, including the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi, the National Wildlife Museum in Jackson Hole, the American Museum of Fly Fishing, and Meredith Long and Company.
