Pretty happy with this. Going to leave it be and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow!

Warm tones, cool tones
First layer of colour
Working up a sketch from another favourite photo.
Finished and matted!
Almost there
I’ll see how it looks in natural light tomorrow morning, but I think this is pretty much finished.
Playing with colour
My favorite thing about this painting is the simple colour palette. I have four tubes of paint out–and in retrospect, I think I could have skipped using the turquoise on the siding.
So far, I’ve used only a smidge of white (to match shade while correcting errors), and no black at all. I’d like it to pop a little more, which I think means I need to do more opaque and semi-opaque layers to contrast with the underlying blue…What do you think?
