'Widow of War" oil, 41x29, Award prize at the "Soliloquy Exhibit" at the Anton Art Center, Macomb, MI.

I was given a photo of a Burundian widow from Denise Vibbert, who co-founded Sister Connection,a non-profit organization for widows and orphans of Burundi, Africa. Denise felt that since I was a single mom I could capture the emotions of the woman whom she had befriended. I was honored. I loved creating this piece and working to capture the emotions of moment.

Rebecca Hauschild received an Honorable Mention Award for her oil painting, First Snow. The exhibit is held at the Starkweather Art Center 219 N Main St., Romeo, MI through the month of October. Hours are Thursday-Saturday 10 AM - 4PM.

Summer is right around the corner! Spring has been such an inspirational time for me this year.

I attended an artist retreat in April and it brought me to a new understanding of just how many different colors of spring foliage there are, with the blossoming trees putting the icing on the cake!

The retreat was held in Hastings, MI at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute for environmental education. We had 750 acres to pick and choose where we could set up for the day to paint our visions. There are several places to stay on the grounds. The farmhouse I was in was delightful. We gathered for meals in the visitors' center with large windows and a beautiful veranda overlooking rolling hills. The days were filled with painting, demos, videos and critiquing. Painting outdoors in the fresh air coupled with the learning experiences and great food meant that each night we were more than ready for bed. The entire retreat was very well organized by Lisa Ritcher...

We came across this cute and colorful combination ice cream and gift shop located in the city of Munising in Michigan's beautiful upper peninsula. It was so cute that i just had to paint it! I gave the painting to the owners. I enjoy occasionally giving my work just to see the joy it brings to the surprised recipients.

Artist Rebecca Hauschild donated prints in a Silent Auction for the O.C.I.M.A. Charity. The Silent Auction was held with a wine tasting and gourmet strolling dinner in Rochester Hills, MI.

This commissioned piece was done of an old lakefront cottage on Higgins Lake, Michigan. It was created from an old photo. The family wanted to capture and preserve their memory of the family cottage as it originally looked. Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

I created this painting of Point Detroit, a well known outcropping on Higgins Lake, Michigan from a photo that I took one early morning. Point Detroit is easily recognized by a uniquely wind-shaped tree that is a great marker on the lake. It is a place that provides a focus for capturing the beauty of sunrises and sunsets. My art was selected by the Loom Room, on Higgins Lake, a gift, novelty and souvenir shop. I am honored that they chose my work of art for their puzzle this year.

Summer is a very special time in Michigan with the warm days, cool nights and our abundant lakes and verdant forests! There are a seemingly endless and breathtaking number of opportunities available to paint our beautiful natural scenery!

This past year I have focused on paintings of northern Michigan especially the area around Higgins Lake reported to be the “sixth most beautiful lake in the world”! Posters of my paintings from around the lake will be framed by The North Studio, (8446 N. Higgins Lake Dr., Roscommon, MI) in quarter-sawn oak and available at the studio or online at www.rebecca-hauschild.pixels.com

Several new pieces of my art are now on display at the Stream Side (1136 E. Higgins Lake Dr., Roscommon, MI) and at the Paint Creek Center (407 Pine St. Rochester, MI). If you are near either of these locations, please stop in and take a look.

2015 marked the first time that I am offering my artwork reproduced on...
