"The Real Doll"

Have you ever been confronted with the perfect doll? I was involved in a life drawing class when I glanced in the corner & saw the daughter of the model trying on hats from the prop box. Of course I envisioned her sitting amongst a group of antique French dolls. The little doll dressed in white is a German doll with a "broken" nose. The real challenge was to paint the "glass" eyes of all the dolls. A couple of them had to be repainted because I went too far & made them human. This original painting will be included in the Fall Art Show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Tx in Nov-Dec....Gouache, 18 x 24, custom matted & framed

The Old Mill Study, Barbara Haviland

  #mill,#water,#building,#11x14,#BarbaraHavilandFineArt.com This painting was part of a study.  We had the photo and I painted it then watched the demo. I always do that.  I like to change my painting up a bit. It is painted on a hardboard panel that has canvas adhered to it.  I have used this method for years. I don't care for the spring of a stretched canvas.  Thanks for viewing my art ~~Barbara Available  GALLERY INFO Barbara Haviland Fine Art 1579 County Road 1010 Woodville, Texas 75979 409-332-0141 Website
