Lights, cameras, action! Double Diva Sunflowers was drying on the easel as I assembled my new photo cube tent, which just arrived a few hours ago. I've struggled for years with trying to get photos of paintings with no glare, having to tilt them or go outside during certain times when the sun was at just the right angle. Last week, I ordered the photo tent kit from Discount Tommy. It was easy to put together, though one of the little spotlights immediately broke, and the other started melting after being plugged in for five minutes. I was still pretty proud I figured out how to pop up the cube. Next I have to figure out how to re-fold it! Since the instructions that arrived with the package were indecipherable, I will be on Youtube this evening, watching instructional videos that others have kindly shared. Wish me luck. If I can't refold it, the pugs will have a new tent to hang out in! Take a peek at my art blog to see my new photo tent cube.

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

Central Fire Station Lake Charles, La Barbara Haviland

CENTRAL FIRE STATION LAKE CHARLES, LA #CentralFireStation,#HIstoric,#Building,#BarbaraHavilandFineArt.com Central Fire Station no longer exists in Lake Charles, La. I had some old photos that I used to paint this painting. 24"x40" and it is signed and framed, but you must come pick it up. I was told that the station burned down and they built another.

I haven’t posted here in a long time, partly because my artistic endeavors have taken a turn toward quilting instead of painting. But this quilt started as a painting which I had printed on fabric and then turned it into a quilt. So maybe I can slip it into the blog! If you are interested in seeing more, let me know!
