Get With It!


End Of The Road    9x12

The month has slipped by, and I haven't posted since putting up some of the paintings from my Big Bend trip.  Things were pretty intense when I got back, trying to get caught up with what had been left undone while I was gone, taking care of business, and just getting outside to paint.  I just returned from a week of painting down on the coast.  Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Fulton Beach.  The weather was great, and I was ready to get away and just focus on painting, again.

I found this subject while cruising through an old Port A neighborhood in the late afternoon. There are several reasons I named this one "End Of The Road". One is where it's situated, and another is that both houses are soon to be torn down in the continuing city renewal mandate process.  It's sad to see that the old Port A that I grew up loving has all but disappeared.  Anyway, I'm happy to have painted this and another soon to be wrecked cabin.  I'll show you that one tomorrow.  From what I was told by the neighbors, these three are probably gone by now.


By the way, if there's something you've been wanting to get done for a long time, …get with it!  Doesn't matter what age we are, time is shorter than we think, and everything passes and changes.

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!
