Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the Nyack, New York 2nd Empire Victorian. The photo I’m using is seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5×7 inch canvas.
When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
There are some big changes for this week’s cycle. Most prominently, there are those porch posts. Those in the light now appear in white. Note the connecting railing, also in white. Shadowed porch posts appear in blue as does the roof of the second story balcony. Finally, the shadowed front windows have been refined and detailed.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
Open it is.
There are times that I wish I could see these in person. I will gladly settle for the Internet equivalent. This one is coming along nicely. Guessing another cycle or two to complete?
Thanks DD! A few more weeks and it will be done.
Glad you keep doing this. Wish the old photo flogs could come back, and a few of the other features that gave this place a more personal touch. Then again, those were different times.
I could try out a photo thread. Maybe later this week.
Worth a shot. Maybe it would pull in a few folks or bring a few folks in who feel a bit disappointed with the regular political posts and commentary. The community ain’t what it used to be, but there is a community somewhere I’d like to think.
I also think it would be worth a try. It might not work at first, but you have to start somewhere. Even the Cafe’s have helped, at least now the right column isn’t only filled with diaries on supposed Democratic failures.
I used to enjoy the pictures.

I enjoyed the photos too. Really missed those when they were gone for good. Couldn’t contribute much due to having a crappy camera until recently.
I know what you mean about cameras! Now everyone has a decent camera on our devices.

I’ll put up a simple thread on Wednesday. No theme or complex posting protocol. Just photos of your choice. Mine will atually be stored in my photobucket account rather than the way used to post previously.
Cool, that will give me a bit of a break this week as far as posting a cafe. 🙂
Now to figure out what I have in the way of photos.
I have to find a way to post them. I struggled with it in the original threads, so I mainly looked.

By the way a quick shout out to anyone lurking but not really wanting to converse. Hopefully these cafes can provide a little shelter from the storm. There are a number of old-timers I always enjoy hearing from, and hopefully some newer folks as well. Take care. Have a great rest of your week.
Hi all. I’m rather busy until after Nov. 8th, but maybe I’ll find a few minutes to post a photo tomorrow.
