Gun

By
Gun
16.5 x 22.5 inches
Mixed Media Enc Caustic, Plaster Cast, Wooden Frame
This is one of the pieces I have finished within the last week.  It is a Plaster Cast Toy Pistol, embedded in an En Caustic back ground, with fabricated wooden frame.  I am fascinated with Barnett Newman's Minimalist color and spacial structure.  Although, it is not a minimalist piece, this was inspired by the color and composition of Newman's work.  It is an attempt to step back and make it simple and pure, yet still playing with the idea of a symbolic nature. Finding simplicity and beauty in something that has duality to be violent, yet also a child's toy, something to have fun with.

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
