Loved painting this one.

House Portrait

G & G's House

Wayne, Pennsylvania

5x7, oil on canvas

Last year after Granddad passed away Grammie moved out of their house of almost 50 years and moved to Richmond. They had a beautiful lot with big, shady trees, a large backyard, apple, cherry & walnut trees and a vegetable garden.

so it usually goes something like this.

1. sit down and slather paint here and there until the colors get muddy and i get frustrated. 

2. put it away for a few days.

3. overcorrect the colors. focus on shapes. get frustrated again.

4. leave it on the window sill for a week or two. consider starting over.

5. decide not to become a quitter. focus on one section at a time, background to foreground (don't have pictures of those steps, sorry), and finally finish.
