Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the painting of the old double-turreted Victorian. The photo that I am using is seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 8×10 inch canvas.
When last see the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
I’ve now revised virtually every part of the painting. Note the tip of the turret standing above the roof as well as the chimney. The lit siding contrasts nicely with the revised and now darkened windows. The lawn and the foliage far to the rear along with the building’s shadow make for a now suitable site. Last but not least, the boardwalk out in front.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
Open it is.
Sort of semi-back. Had a crazy month (really just craziness non-stop since late summer). Things should hopefully be slowing down now.
Good to have you back!
I’ll soon start making more of a habit of being around again. Still a bit more craziness to deal with over the next week or so. Walkabouts are good from time to time. They give perspective. Sort of needed that.
Time away is good. Wish I could do some/more of that.
In spite of some serious personal crises, I tried to keep as much focus as I could – and devoted too much time in the process – to November elections. That out of the way, I saw the opportunity to re-prioritize a few things, including time on political blogs. Anyway, I am back, sorta. Maybe a bit more a little later on.
While I have a theme for tomorrow’s Midweek Cafe and Lounge ready, I can get out of your way if you want to take the helm again. Otherwise, I’ll keep posting them until you’re ready.
Please keep posting for a bit longer. Still a number of plates to spin.
Thank you. Working on it now.
