"Tennis Court"

This original painting is currently on display at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. This art exhibition runs through January 2023. The painting is owned by a private collector and is gracious on loan for this exhibition.

Susan was honored as one of the 2022 Louisiana Contemporary Artist select by Museum in August. Read more here about this exhibition.

The painting features three girls having completed their tennis matches. The middle girl has won a trophy.

One after school activity I was in for many years was tennis. In my childhood, tennis camps like these would have a program at the end of the season to have all the kids compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and receive small shelf trophies. In this painting I wanted to highlight the importance of the trophy as a kid, it felt bigger and more rewarding. I wanted all the imagery to be fuzzy like remembering a memory because thats all I can do it remember the last time I remembered.

This piece is created by Susan Havens-Morris. The Life Series is based on moments, events, and things from Susan's childhood during the 70's and 80's.

"We Played Doubles and Mom Took Pictures"

As a little girl tennis felt accessible to everyone. Today tennis is still nationally recognized and accepted in all cultures. Tennis can be played by people of all ages and walks of life. It breaks down barriers and creates lasting friendships. 

This piece is created by Susan Havens-Morris. The Life Series is based on moments, events, and things from Susan's childhood during the '70s, and '80s.

A delicious afternoon picnic from the '60s consisting of fresh watermelon, lemonade, fried chicken, strawberry cake and so much more! Placed near the lake, reminiscent of afternoon lunch while on the lake. The technique of creating the background of the painting is very similar to screen printing in that the colors are built up through layers. The layers advertently create a textured pattern of the grass and water. Then individual details are painted on using acrylic and spray can.

"40 Love" Painting, LIFE series

40 Love is inspired by the love of the sport. The painting consists of two figures, one standing on the other side of the net and the other lying on the court. The figure lying on the court is so exhausted that they are lying on the court, similar to the player who has won the game. While this player has not won, this painting is not about admitting defeat but about playing. Even though you may not be good, you can still enjoy the game.

"Chaise Lounge"

A fun painting of a retro chaise lounge made for the outdoors in classic white and green banding. This lounge was great for folding up and carrying with you on the go! This piece has a neon stripe of florescent orange at the top to add a great pop of color to the green piece. This painting also features a side table with a glass of lemonade and a child's kiddy pool.

This painting features a pool, a water float shaped like a flamingo, and various garden chairs.

The concept of this painting is about the joy of summer at any age. When you are a child the summer is warm and you can feel free from school and responsibilities. Everything looks bright and happy; the lawn is greener, the water is bluer, and the air smells sweet. When you are an adult it spending hard earned time with your family. It means fresh air, outdoor grills, and warm evenings. During summer everyone feels more connected with themselves. Anyone can view this painting and be transported to their favorite summertime moment, even if it wasn't at the pool.

Our NEW LIFE series is a take on growing up in the '60s and '70s. People are already saying it is "fun and happy" bright powerful colors are rich and invite you into our world.

The title "Flamingo Pool"
Artist: Susan Havens-Morris
Material: Acrylic, oil stick, spray paint on two stretched canvas panels

This piece features an animatronic horse in front of a store window that has classic painting displayed on its shelves.

In conjunction with the first piece "Pony for my Birthday", this is the second later-in-life realization. My longing to own my own pony has started to fade. The desire I originally wanted is not as strong, therefore not as realistic as depicted in the horse. The Horse has begun to loose color and chip. All together the horse has become fuzzy in my vision. However, my unrecognized dreams are just beyond the window of my horse. At this point in my life, I'm starting to find new interests like attending art school and making my own art. The art behind the window is made by some of the greatest painters we know, Picasso, Warhol, and O'Keefe, and I've started seeing them in Chicago at the Art Institute, so they are inherently in the back of my mind now. They are finer and clearer in detail than the horse, meaning I'm focusing more on the art that my love of horses. 

In the next 5 years, I'm attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to complete a bachelor's in Fine Art.

Our NEW LIFE series is a take on growing up in the '60s and '70s. People are already saying it is "fun and happy" bright powerful colors are rich and invite you into our world.

The three types of tennis courts at tennis opens around the world. The Orange is a Clay Court at Roland Garros French Open, the Green is a Grass Court at Wimbledon in London, and the Blue is the hard acrylic of the US Open.

Clay and Grass are Classic courts known by all. However, we here at Haven Contemporary Haven have no idea what court type was used to play the US Open this year. Watching those players slip and slide around Arthur Ashe stadium in the 2022 US Open was scary. We highly recommend the US open resurface the court in either clay, grass, or carpet.

The size of one painting is 24" W x 36" H. When All three are placed together with a 2" space between them, 76" W x 36" H.

These can be purchased as one or a set. Both the original paintings as well as framed prints are available. The Frame Prints are printed on stretched canvas and framed in a floating frame style.

Frame Colors Available are White, Black, or Walnut. Please note, the frame options on the "original painting + walnut" will be made from REAL Walnut wood. "Canvas Prints + Walnut framing" are painted a walnut color.

All Artwork and fine art prints come ready to hang with hanging hardware mounted on the back. Can hang easily on an anchored screw or nail. 3M Command Stripes can be used although not recommended.

Art sculpture of three deviled eggs. Pipped lettering reads "Isn't that Special". A cheeky plate is poking fun at the idea that society needs to know everyone's business and judge them for it. Or perhaps just a delicious plate of deviled eggs. Great for friends and family that love deviled eggs!
