cape may house



(5.5.x7.5)

Took a one-hour break from working this afternoon to try to get back into the painting habit!
I chose this little bit of a house in Cape May and planned to paint it simply, leaving parts undefined and mainly highlighting the light on the turret ... Right now, I won't judge its progress, because it needs to be pulled together, and I should put in the tree trunk and darken some of the foliage before making any judgments.
But, I am regretting that it's so small (I was intending to send it to someone); I think to get what I have pictured in my mind, I need larger spaces.

I think it is looking great so far. If you add some darks to the surrounding vegetation...you are done.
