A little story about why I chose this subject to paint. It was a stormy day  about noon or so. The sky was filled with clouds filled with water ready to gush down. In fact it had been raining quite a bit early morning. On the back porch I have a workbench and where I do all things that require cutting wood, or fixing this or that, you know, man stuff. The roof over the porch extends about 15 feet away from the house and makes for a nice place to work but also cast a big shade on everything. The trees in the backyard add to the problem also. However there was just enough light to make the gas can and a few other things emerge from the darkness. Lately I've been interested in capturing things around the house in low light situations and on this day it paid off. Hope to do more like this.

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!
