Had a chance to get back down to Galveston and lucked up with some unbelievable fog rolling in. After about ten minutes at the Sea Wall I took a trip down to East Beach to see what was going on then as I head back down the beach it completely engulfed the Seawall and I was barely able to see the surf. What made it interesting was the sun was beaming bright which lit up a lot of areas. 

The Pleasure Pier is a fun park with ferrous wheels and fun and games. The small pier at the end used to be a fishing pier but no longer since the last Hurricane rendered it useless. The Flagship Pier is what this pier used to be called, with a big Hotel on top. Surfers used to jump off it and you can imagine from the looks is a pretty big drop.

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!
