Relic in the Wild: The Old Truck by Barbara Haviland-Texas Artist

    

Relic in the Wild: The Old Truck, This 12x12 oil on canvas piece features an old, rustic pickup truck nestled in a serene countryside setting. The weathered truck, with its rust patches and faded paint, tells a story of time and endurance. I've used earthy tones and a muted palette to evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility, with visible brushstrokes adding texture and depth. This painting captures the timeless charm of a vintage vehicle amid natural beauty, inspired by my passion for painting abandoned vehicles. Thank you for taking a moment to appreciate this piece with me.

The old rusty truck is done in oils and on a canvas panel. It measures 12"x12" and is signed and not framed.

Brownsfield Relic, Ford Truck by Texas Artist Barbara Haviland

"Brownsfield Relic." this piece is a 16x12 oil painting on canvas, depicting a vintage, weathered truck I discovered in Brownsfield, Texas. The truck, painted in shades of brown, blue, and rust, sits on a grassy terrain under a sky with soft, warm tones, evoking a nostalgic, rustic atmosphere. Creating this piece was a unique journey—capturing the aged beauty of such a relic was simply something I had to do. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a timeless moment in a semi-rural setting.
Good day to all and remember to be kind to someone!

Radiant Magnolia Heart, by Barbara Haviland

#magnolia, #heart, #fractured, #textures, #oilPainting, #BarbaraHaviland.net

Introducing "Radiant Magnolia Heart," a captivating oil painting on canvas that measures 20x16 inches. This stunning piece intricately captures the essence of a white magnolia flower in extraordinary detail. The focal point of the artwork is its central stamen, displayed in vibrant golden yellow hues with subtle hints of red at the base, creating a striking contrast against the delicate, white petals.
The textured brushstrokes add depth and realism to the petals, enhancing their elegance and grace. The dark, abstract background intensifies the flower’s natural beauty, ensuring it remains the central highlight of the piece. This visual harmony is achieved through a meticulous technique that emphasizes the intricate details and the core essence of the flower’s form.


The inspiration behind "Radiant Magnolia Heart" came from a close-up view of a magnolia's center, with an added touch of texture and fracturing through knife work, providing a unique tactile quality to the canvas. This artwork captures not only the visual but also the emotional splendor of the magnolia, making it a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature rendered in fine art.

Whispers of the Past, Bayou Painting by Barbara Haviland

#Bayou, #House, #water, #LimitedPalette, # BarbaraHaviland.net , #Cypress Trees

The artwork features a serene landscape with a small, rustic house positioned to the right of the scene, situated on the edge of a body of water, possibly a river. The house, with a distinct red chimney and a shaded front porch, stands surrounded by lush greenery. Mature trees with prominent trunks and draped Spanish moss set the backdrop, enhancing the natural, tranquil setting.
The foreground displays the riverbank, rendered in shades of earthen browns and hints of reddish soil, suggesting a soft, muddy terrain. The water itself is calm, with gentle strokes of blue that capture the reflection of the sky and the presence of the forest along its banks.
In the sky, a few birds are in flight, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise still environment. Their silhouettes contrast with the soft, pale sky, which is subtly rendered to suggest either an overcast day or a time when the sun is not at its brightest.
The overall palette of the painting consists of muted earth tones and soft greens, with the pop of red from the chimney drawing the eye. The scene exudes a quiet, almost nostalgic atmosphere, possibly capturing a mo.ment of solitude or reflection in a rural setting

Measures  4"x10" and is part of my study of Limited Palette colors      If you would like a painting like this email.
