#still Life,#objects,#Black,#White,#oil painting,#BarbaraHaviland.net

Part of this painting was done in a class and I finished it in my studio. I used a limited palette of Black and White with touches of Red in the mixture.  The painting was fun and hard to do. It measures 16"x12 and with the frame it measures 15"x19". This is what you call a value painting and a limited palette.

Serenade of Small Boats,Nautical

I'm excited to share my latest painting, "Serenade of Small Boats." This 11x14 oil on canvas panel captures three small boats floating gently on a calm body of water. The reflections and the serene waterfront setting create a tranquil ambiance, enhanced by a palette of cooler tones with red, white, and blue hues. This artwork was inspired by a photograph I was given, and it was a unique journey to bring that image to life. I hope this piece brings a sense of peace and tranquility to those who view it.

Daily Pink Rose oil painting, miniature

     #Rose, #miniature, #oil painting, #single rose, #BarbaraHaviland.net

#Rose, #miniature, #oil painting, #single rose, #BarbaraHaviland.net

Pink Rose Daily painting

The artwork is a painting of a single rose with a deep  pinks and whites hue. The rose is depicted at a stage where the blossom is partially opened, showcasing some interior petal layers as well as the outer petals curving outward. The rose's stem and several green leaves are visible embodying the flower's delicate nature. The coloration suggests light playing across the petals at the edges, giving the flower a vibrant and somewhat velvety texture. An emphasis on contrasting shades creates a sense of depth, with the darker background making the rose stand prominently as the focal point of the composition.

Small miniature pink rose is one of my daily paintings.  Signed and not framed

12" x 8"

signed and not framed

The pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is a large, mostly black woodpecker native to North America. An insectivore, it inhabits deciduous forests in eastern North America, the Great Lakes, the boreal forests of Canada, and parts of the Pacific Coast. It is the largest extant woodpecker species in the United States. 

 

 I almost flipped, when we saw this one near our birdfeeder. He was so big.!

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

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.
