Welcome back.
This week we will be continuing with the (West) Cape May, New Jersey Victorian house. The photo that I’m using is seen directly below.
I am doing this piece in my usual acrylics and, once again, in an 8×10 format on stretched canvas.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.
Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.
In this week’s cycle it’s all about light, and shadow. The roof has been painted in a light grey with darker shadows cast by the chimney and front-facing gables. The light grey is lighter than I’d like and will be darkened slightly for the next installment.
The shadow cast by the unseen house to the right now accurately reflects its roof line. Finally, the windows are now blue, something that may change before this piece is done.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
That’s about it for now. I’ll see you next week with more progress. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.

Nice!
Thanks dada! These are wonderful. Have you sold any?
no, l haven’t.
but if you’re interested…thanks.
these 2 have never been printed, btw, still just digital files. l’m thinking they’re the christmas presents this year.
dada, The bridge image is hypnotizing.
Very nice.
It`s like looking into the barbershop mirrors, not that I`ve been to one in fifty years.
Boran2 do you feel extra pressure to paint when your posting your progress here or does is it motivate you? I’m a child of the 70’s and anything I feel like I have to do then turns to work so I’m just curious? Thanks for these diaries BTW.
Doing these posts keeps me painting and learning. Before I started this series I painted maybe 2 or 3 pieces a year. Quite the lazy painter I was. 😉
Well Boran2, what you don`t have is a “lazy” eye.
I missed your post last week because I couldn`t access my account here.
The BooMan Boss took care of me though, so all`s well.
