Fly Sunflowerscape is a scene from my youth on a 20-acre organic farm in East Texas, a place that had red dirt roads and only five houses for 30 square miles. My family settled there in 1969, moving from St. Louis after my father's job at Western Union relocated him to their Texas office.
While working full-time jobs, my parents decided to build their own dream of a working farm, planting acres of crops in their evening and weekend hours, with the help of an excellent and free labor force of four healthy daughters. I remember sitting in the dirt beneath rows of giant sunflowers, watching the sun stream through their petals. I always knew that as soon as I was old enough, I would fly away from that farm. But every moment I was away, I knew I would come back. Texas was home, because my family is here. I am lucky to have had such a journey, but I am blessed to be home.

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!
