Nothing new to post about the house, so...

I posted some of the progress shots of my painting several weeks ago, but I came across a few more. Here are several different pictures of my most recent art project.  If you follow me on FB you have seen them, so in the event that I still have any blog followers, you too can ohhh and awwww.

I started out transferring the image from the reference photo to the 2' x 3' canvas...

 I started on the sky first, then did the houses...

Here is a bit of detail on one building that I proceeded to cover up with a tree...

Thought I would toss in a selfie, just in case you thought I was teasing you with a painting by some other famous artist...

Here is the almost finished version.

It was a fun project and I'm already chomping at the bit (see what I did there?) to paint something else.

Ill keep you posted.

Thirty lashes with a wet noodle...

OK, y'all I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything for a full month.  Like a lot of folks, I do keep up daily on FB, but I seldom post these kinds of pictures there.  The contractor had to really stay on the plasterers to get the walls done, but they are getting there...

The siding is coming along nicely also...

The brick guy is supposed to be there tomorrow, so here is a before picture of some of  what he will be working on...

Well, that's not much of an update, but it is slowly coming together.  TD says it will probably be two more weeks before it's ready for any more pictures, but I'll keep them coming as I can.

In the mean time I can show you some pictures of my current art project.  I'm doing a large acrylic painting on a 2' x 3' canvas of Colonial Williamsburg.  Here it is in the early stages...

 That progressed to this...

I'm seriously thinking about making the road a warmer color, but I'm just not sure.  I've already started painting in the closest horse and I think they would look better if the road was more brown than gray.  Sometimes you have to take artistic license on these things, for the sake of perspective and continuity.  I saved my mask for the focal images, so it will be easy to modify the foreground. 

With all that being said, I'll bid you farewell and we will, as always, talk soon.
