On the morning of the Vineyard Hill Paint-out, the weather was cold and the winds rather harsh. This home is on the adjoining property - which we were invited to paint on as well. As soon as I saw the house situated so beautifully - I knew I had to paint it! I love these old houses, and this one had been in the owner's family for a long time. I set my easel up close to the vehicle - so as to give me as much of a windbreak as possible. The drawback here is that I had little room to back up and look at the progress of the painting - which I normally do often. I had to walk over to the side of the car to glimpse my painting at a distance! I spent quite a bit of time on this one - wanting to accurately capture what I was seeing, which left less than an hour for the next painting! This was a special day with special people, and I'm so happy I could be a part of it! This painting now resides in this home - which is where it was destined to be! This painting makes 503 in 503 days!
