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.

New Web Site https://BarbaraHavilandFineArt.com We have just recently moved the Woodville, Texas. So far, we are both loving the country. I create art for myself. I love doing this. I am a Christian, wife, mother, retired banker, and artist. I started painting in 1976 and was hooked. I have never been bored creating a painting. The subjects are endless. I have been frustrated, but never bored, I will try all subjects, landscape, floral, seascape, still life, and portraits. I belong to several art groups Outdoor Painters Society Oil Painters of America Artists of Texas EBSQart Tyler County Art League I also teach oil painting classes each week in my studio. When I'm not painting, I love to be with my family. My husband is my best friend and we have been married for 61 years. Yes 61 years. We travel thro this great country.
