Cypress, moss, nocturnal, swamp,original, oil painting, BarbaraHaviland.net
Nocturnal Cypress is one of my newest bayou paintings. I wanted to show how eerie and how mysterious a bayou is at night. The painting is done in oils on a special Gallery wrap canvas that was stretched by my daughter. It is a professional job she did. I have used a very limited palette for this painting. As you can see below, I have painted the sides and have signed the piece.

Beaded Elegance with Red and Blue This still life painting was inspired by the vibrant interplay of colors and simple, everyday objects that hold a certain charm. As I worked on this piece, I explored the unique contrasts of the red vase against the blue pitcher, tied together by the string of beads and the graceful green leaf. The process was a journey of balancing light and shadow to enhance the vividness of the scene. I hope this piece speaks to you as much as it does to me, inviting you to pause and appreciate the elegance in simplicity.

Jolly Green Giant was my husband's Fathers truck and that is what Steve called his truck "Jolly Green Giant". The year Sam and I got married (1963) his parents and younger brother went to Alaska in that truck with the cab-over Camper for 6 weeks. This is one of the slides that we looked at Christmas and I decided to paint it. We received a new projector from our daughter and we went back in time. Back in the olden days there were not cell phones with cameras. Steve used a movie camera and had slides developed. We have lots of them.
I don't know if I am selling this or not. Let me know if you like it or IF you have a photo you want painted. You can get a print of this!!
wisteria,gate, flowers, arch, BarbaraHaviland.net
The artwork is an oil painting of a charming garden scene. The focal point is a white wooden gate that leads into a hidden garden. The gate is partially open, inviting the viewer into the tranquil space beyond. Climbing flowers and lush foliage drape over the gate's arch, predominantly in shades of purple, suggesting the presence of wisteria or another vining plant. The gate is framed by a white picket fence on either side. To the left of the path leading to the gate, vibrant flowers in reds, oranges, and yellows add a splash of color at the lower edge of the scene, contrasting with the predominant greens and purples.
The background behind the gate is softly rendered, hinting at a continuation of the garden space and creating a depth to the scene. The pathway toward the gate is a warm, earthy tone, guiding the viewer's eye to the gate itself. The painting conveys a sense of peaceful seclusion and the beauty of nature. The light filtering through the leaves and the gentle shadows suggest a sunny day, with the garden representing a serene retreat. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, creating a textural quality that gives life to the foliage and the flowers.

The Wave is a 12x12 oil painting that captures the serene beauty of the coast. This scenic landscape invites you to experience a moment of peace with its gentle waves caressing the sandy beach and the graceful birds soaring above. The rocky formations to the left add depth and texture, while the calming colors of the sky and ocean evoke tranquility. Creating this piece was a unique journey, as I aimed to blend dynamic elements with a serene atmosphere. I hope "The Wave" brings a sense of calm and appreciation for nature's beauty to all who view it.

Introducing "Chef's Ensemble," a captivating still life painting that beautifully captures the essence of everyday culinary essentials.

This is some cypress trees I painted on a piece of stained wood that my husband made for me. It has an oval routed out and that is where I painted the bayou
This is the second piece to match my other bayou painting. The painting is in the routed out oval of the wood. It is one piece of wood and the wood has been stained. They look good side by side. The wood frame was made from Pecan wood after a tree fell from a Hurricane. Together they measure 20"x 12".
