Harvey and Lisa's houseboat was done in oils from photos given to me. This is a real houseboat they have on the river and they spend lots of time there. I am glad I got the opportunity to paint this for them.

Morning Glory Mornings, miniature oil framed, flowers

flowers,morning glories, blues, green, framed, BarbaraHaviland.net
Morning Glory Mornings captures the fresh vitality of two morning glory blossoms rendered in rich, deep blues. The petals overlap with delicate precision, accented by soft lighter blue highlights that add dimension and softness to the composition. Bright yellow centers provide a striking focal point, drawing the eye inward against the surrounding greenery. The lush leaves envelop the flowers organically, while a closed bud poised on the right introduces a sense of natural progression and quiet anticipation. Set against a dark background, the vibrant colors are amplified, allowing the floral forms to take clear, confident prominence. Presented on a compact 7 by 5-inch mat board and framed in a warm wooden frame, the piece invites close examination and appreciation of its subtle textures and refined brushwork, creating an intimate moment that feels both immediate and timeless.

My Brother and Me, oil painting

portrait, oil painting, brother, sister, BarbaraHaviland.net
My brother and me is a portrait I did of my brother and me in our western outfits. The reference photo I used was printed in the 1950's and was septia and maybe 2x3. I painted this painting shortly after my brother died. It is not for sale but, I could paint 2 people in one setting for you the same size 16x8. Let me know if this is something you might want. Thanks ~Barbara
