Victorian on Main

What a grand lady the Victorian on Main is in Fairfield, Illinois! Beautiful inside and out, she is a joy to paint!  I found a small shady spot from which to paint, tucked into a corner garden.  With ink and watercolor I painted the scene, with careful attention to those lines and angles.  With so much ornamentation on this beauty  it was a bit complicated to draw out.  I do love a challenge - and this painting now graces the walls within!  Painting number 3925 in 3925 days.

I just realized I did not post this pre-sketch for my oil painting at the Field of Dreams in Iowa, during the Bluff Strokes event.  In fact, this was still on my clipboard in my sketch bag when I arrived in Ohio!  And, that was the place where I forgot to take photos of my work on site.  It is really a shame because this place is so beautiful!  I hope to have the opportunity to do it again sometime!  Painting number 2519 in 2519 days.
