Bruce Bingham and AIS Show

Tea Time

Oil 9x12

by Bruce Bingham

I was so excited to have my painting Tea Time accepted into the

American Impressionists Small Works Show.

I'm always surprised and delighted to be accepted.

Competitions like this seem like a game of chance.

This painting was a playful experiment of color and mark making.

I set up a still life and did a painting.

Then I used the painting I did as a very loose reference for this exercise.

Painting goes much better for me if I can release expectations

and enjoy the process of making marks with color.

The AIS show will be held at

Greenwich House Gallery

Cincinnati, OH

March 23 -April 21. 2018

On another note:

I woke up from my Holly Daze and realized- WOW

I've got to get to work!

I have alot of deadlines and have been painting up a storm.

I've been so busy I haven't had time to share with you as much as I'd like.

Coming up:

RS Hanna Spring Showcase

Hosted by RS Hanna Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX.

The show opens February 1, 2018

More details coming soon!

Thanks for following along:)

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!
