House with Eight Skylights

[caption id="attachment_314" align="alignnone" width="500"] Skylights[/caption]

A stone house with many skylights, it has a unique appeal. However, it is hard to make a painting of just one house and keep it interesting. I pulled in a few other structures on the both sides to keep the space more dynamic and interactive. Most of the surrounding colors are subtle and toned down, but there are a few spots of primary colors to keep it lively. This is still work in progress.

X-Mas day Still Life

It has been a long time, at least a few years since I have tried painting a still life. This painting is in a very beginning stage and I hope to complete it before the flower wither away.

Dark and Cold Winter

With a chance of snow on Saturday, it was cold and dark. The painting surrounding evolved to the darkness theme but the glimpse of light remained.

In winter, outdoor painting is limited to painting from inside a car.   I made a little more progress on this painting from Black Friday.  As the day progress, around 2:30 pm the almost the whole building is covered with shadows of other tall buildings.   A sliver of light at the edge of the buildings and surrounding large portion of dark shadows made the contrast very interesting.  I would like to capture that darkness but may be in a next painting.

Black Friday Painting

Cold weather, only in the mid 30s, but I was happy to have started another painting.
