Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the three turreted Victorian house in Cape May, New Jersey. I will be using my usual acrylic paints on a conventional 8×8 inch canvas. The photo that I’m using is seen directly below.
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.
I’ ve been away on vacation out west (NM and AZ) and didn’t make as much progress as I would have liked. However the changes are fairly dramatic. I’ve added some paint to the roof and plantings out front. These are only first layers and there will be several more to come. On the house itself, I’ve roughed in the windows. Final placement will vary slightly as things move along. I will have more to show you next week.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress for you next week. See you then.

Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
boran2,
I`ve been through a rough schedule change on this new project I`m doing which has taken up my time in strange ways.
I don`t know what weekday it is anymore.
So I take this opportunity to visit one of my favorite haunts.
(Don`t tell anybody)
I`ll try & follow this latest work of yours.
BTW, I love houses in your current trending that are white.
I think they are a statement of classical beauty.
Anyone who paints their home all white must keep it "white" since the slightest blemish, may seem to be carelessness, neglect, or the sign of hard economic times, some most would seek to not portray publicly.
I could imagine an owner of such a home, having fallen on hard times, foregoing the usual "money is no object" theme, to eating "cat food" saving money to buy paint for his white house.
I`m rambling.
Have a great weekend on this Labor Day, & enjoy your family.
Here`s a picture I took of my commute to my new project.
This section of it lasts 20 minutes.

Best of luck with your current project, Knucklehead.
White houses are great for making paintings such as this but I’d probably have some color if I owned this one. Or perhaps a light gray body with white trim. You’re right, too much to worry about with white.
I’m impressed…on vacation AND working on a painting. 🙂
Two of them actually. I did a small one of a scene out west while we were away. Just as I finished it the canvas slipped from my hand into some wet paint. It was ruined. Grrrrrr.
