Night at the Victorian

SOLD

 

This was my first time to paint this beautiful Victorian at night, and in the rain.  As I drove by, coming home from another paint, I simply could not resist the glow of this beauty in the rain!  Choosing watercolor for a nocturne made this painting so much more challenging! As the rain increased, I was forced to finish in my car, where it was really too dark to see my paints.  I learned a few lessons with this one, and the result was worth the extra work.  I'm so happy the painting hangs within it's walls.  Painting number 4680 in 4680 days. 

Victorian Garden

SOLD

One of my favorite places to paint, the early light was beautiful for just a little while. Rain moved back in,  and became too heavy with my panel not yet completely covered with paint. So  I had to finish this painting inside my car, and even had to frame inside, too.  It was worth it all to capture the beauty of this place. I'm so happy this painting will dwell within those beautiful walls. Painting number 5178 in 5178 days. 

The Victorian on Main

 As I arrived in town, I took a quick spin by my favorite places - and this was definitely on my list!  The afternoon light was perfect for painting - even though I had to stand in the hot sun to get this started!  Setting up in Vaughn's automotive parking lot, I started sketching in pen and ink.  I remember when these complicated beauties were difficult, now they are just fun!!  So happy to tick another one off my painting list!  Painting number 3177 in 3177 days!
