Hello again painting fans.
This week I’ll be starting an entirely new painting. I will be using the photo seen directly below. I’m working on an 8×10 canvas in my usual acrylic paints.
The photo shows the Pink House, a well known Victorian structure in Cape May, New Jersey. I’ve usually avoided the well known houses (tourist oriented) but this particular photo appealed to me.
I began by setting down marks at the edge of the canvas that I’ll use to orient the image and set the proper proportions of the various elements. They are still visible. I then did a rough outline, in pink of course. I’ve got to work on that perspective.
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.
I think I forgot how to post photos, but here’s a go.
This is one of my son’s entries in an art competition where you were supposed to reproduce a famous painting or paint in the style of a famous artist. The first one is Raphael’s La Donna Velata
Wow! He did a beautiful job. What kind of paints are these? I hope that he’s taking advantage of his talent and trying to sell some of these paintings.
These are done in oil. I wish he’d get serious about it, too, and sell some of them.
etsy.com is where I have some of mine. It literally costs a few cents to list a piece. I’ve only sold one so far but hopefully things will pick up.
This one started with the title: “Where Salvador Dali gets trampled to the point of atomization by me riding a lion”…..and went from there.
SN I agree with Boran. Your son is very talented and should try selling his paintings.
Holy smokes. That one rocks.
Wow! That is definitely the product of a vivid imagination. What an intense sense of expression! Really amazing :o)
Hey you…been awhile. 🙂 I’ll pass on the compliments.
Hey Second Nature,
Do you sell that stuff by the ounce.
Hi, I`m just kidding.
I remember some of his other stuff (maybe Jimi)
He is very talented.
I hope you mention some of the comments here on Boran`s diary to him.
I will pass them along, definitely…thanks!

Sorry I missed the last incarnation of your painting.
I`ll try & do better from now on.
I look forward to you comments!
