Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the painting of the turreted Cape May house. I’ll be using the photo seen directly below.
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 made a number of changes this week. The roofs and windows are now seen in gray. I may alter the windows a bit but the grey will stay for now. The windows to the right are now heavily shadowed like the siding around them. I’ve added to the background to the extreme left side. The details, and especially the white areas, push the house forward a bit. Finally, I’ve added a layer of paint to the sky and the structure to the right as well as details to the foreground. Each of these will need more work.
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.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
It’s fun watching the details emerge, like the railing for the steps. How much time do you put into painting each week?
Thanks CG! I try to put in at least 15-20 minutes each week but usually it’s a bit more.
I made some progress, too. Go look:

OMG! How sweet. We have a lot of talented people here on the Tribune.
Thanks, Salunga! This is a nice spot for artists to gather.
Wow!
It’s coming along beautifully!
Always nice to see your paintings progress.
Thanks!
I think people appreciate and understand the creative process better if they can see a work in progress. I like seeing how other artists think. 😉
Boran2,
It`s great to see others watch your process & progress.
I`ve been intrigued for quite a while.
I think you`ve started something, although it sometimes takes time.
I love the present state of the canvas.
BTW,
I went to a showing of some guests of mine, down from Toronto this Sat. one of whom was prominently featured, along with her works.
As usual, I enjoyed myself & mixed in with the crowd, to make my experience, & hopefully theirs, one not to forget, or conversely, one to remember.
I`m such a drama dude.
Thanks Knucklehead. I’ve got a few more things to do on this one but things won’t change too much.
I’ll assume that you had the desired effect at the showing. 😉
Boran2,
“I’ll assume that you had the desired effect at the showing.”
On that I`ll keep you posted, although the advance comments trend in my favor.
