Hello again painting fans.
This week I’ll be continuing with the shadowed Cape May house. I will be using the photo seen directly below.
I will be using my usual acrylics on a somewhat larger 8 by 8 inch gallery-style canvas.(This is a thicker canvas similar to the one used in the towered house.)
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.
I’ve added to the bare skeleton of the house by adding light blue paint in the areas that will become the sky and background. Moving directly to the house, I’ve added a darker blue to the siding. Above, the railing of the second story veranda now defines that space. Above that, the shape of the curve soffit is now clearly indicated. Finally, the roof and dormers have received their initial paintstrokes.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
That’s about it for now. Next week I’ll have an entirely new piece to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
In honor of his achievements, I’m reposting this older piece I did of Bode Miller at the time of the Torino Olympics.
Wow Boran2,
That`s incredible.
The style & form of him ripping are amazingly authentic.
Your painting makes him fly.
I imagine you`d have an eager buyer for this piece now.
If not Miller himself, maybe the US postal service as a stamp.
Thanks for your kind comments, Knucklehead! I’m a big fan of the winter Olympics. It was painted from a photo several years ago. I understand that Bode took gold today, his first I believe. Kudos to him!
Boran2,
Yes he did.
I have been watching the olympics myself.
The US just taught Canada a lesson in hockey.
Bummer. Hah
Does the thickness of the canvas change your painting process?
Looking at this house, all I could think was, “Yipes! Stripes!”
Hi tampopo! The thickness doesn’t really change things too much. At the end I’ll simply continue the background onto the sides. The stripes really aren’t much trouble. I’m more concerned with the heavily shaded areas of this one.
