Monarch Butterfly Painting at Dutch Art Gallery

16"x20" ” carved watercolor painting

This time of year I love seeing the monarch butterflies just before they migrate south to warmer climate. Their free spirited flight and bold colored wings are captivating to watch. In this painting I have carved and manipulated the paper to give the butterfly wings a 3-d effect. When the image is viewed up close different portions project and stand out from the background. Your eyes are suddenly following along with the movement of the paper folds creating a colorful pattern of flight, much like that of the "winged royalty" monarch butterfly.

I have several of these uniquely "carved watercolor paintings "available at

"Spirit of Texas" art exhibit at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX.
The exhibit is open from Nov. 4th through Dec. 31st, 2011.
Opening Reception: November 5th, 11am-4pm
E-mail Barbara Mason@: art4dragonfly@aol.com for more information on her carved watercolor paintings.

The Old Mill Study, Barbara Haviland

By
  #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 #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!
