Hello again painting fans.
This week I’ll be continuing with the shadowed Cape May house. I will be using the photo seen directly low.
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.
Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.
I’ve done some detail work this week. The 2nd story railing is now complete with handrails and spindles. These continue around to the left side. In the shadows, a faint doorframe appears to the left side. Below the railing a shadowed detail now appears just above the first story awning.
To the left side of the first story, the bay window is now appropriately sized. Architectural details appear to the right of the bay window. Finally, I used the extra paint to repave the street and driveway.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
That’s about it for now. Next week I’ll have more progress 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.
this is great. I shall have to post one of my paintings. When i figure out how to post images, that is.
There is good info on this in the Friday Foto Flogging, though not his week’s DIY which is different. Here is a link to the week before: FFF March 19th. There is a box in the intro with “Info on Posting Photos,” including a link to a previous diary with excellent instructions. If you get stuck or have questions, just post them.
WOW!! You are getting better and better! Hope you recognize that.
Thank you for your kind comments!
It’s shaping up more and more, Boran. Good work!
I started a new rug this weekend. Here’s what I have so far:

The Veteran’s Day rug took about six weeks. I’d like to finish this one in about a month, if time permits. It’s a rug about extinction. It’s a little bit narrower than the Veteran’s Day piece.
Thanks! That looks like it will be a very interesting rug!
Well now it`s obvious you hadn`t finished this piece.
Your attention to detail in this one is showing well.
great painting, (so far) hah!.
Thanks Knucklehead. Yes, I was wrong. It isn’t quite done yet.
I got a bit more hooked on the elephant rug and wrote in the quote I was looking for.

I have to work part time, so I can’t spend all the time I’d like to on my rugs, but a little bit every day does help.
