Wild by Mark Nesmith

"Wild"
Mark Nesmith
Pastel on Paper
8" x 8"
2011

This is a small (8" x 8") pastel painting on paper from a hike in the Post Oak Preserve near my home in Seagoville. I painted it pretty quickly and originally planned to work up the grasses in the background a bit more, but I decided I kind of liked the freshness and left it alone. You can learn more about hiking in the Post Oak Preserve and about the painting at http://paintdailytexas.blogspot.com/2011/08/wild-is-just-short-drive-away.html, or visit http://www.marknesmith.com/ to view more of my oil and pastel paintings.

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!
