Sunday Afternoon Project

I started this Sunday afternoon at 2:00 and was finished around 4:00pm.

Work in Progress 1-8-15

 I decided to put in a dark sky so the white clapboard house would really stand out yet I did not want to do my old standby-the winter snow fall landscape. I felt this did the job!

In this second photo all the elements are there but I'll hold onto the painting for a few days giving me time to add a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Corrections 1-7-15

Some corrections were made at the request of Caitlin, namely, the addition of snow to the roof and a softening of the windows looking out over the deck. To complete the painting I apply a heavy coat of medium gloss varnish to protect the canvas and allow the owner to lightly dust and keep it clean.
