Oil on panel, 8" x 10"
I was painting on the bike path one evening and had packed up to go home. I was stopped dead in my tracks by the sight of this house. I looked at it for a few seconds and thought, should I or shouldn't I, because I knew the light would only last a couple of minutes. I decided to go for it, dropped my backpack on the ground, set up my painting gear (love that quick release tripod and pochade box), took a quick photo for reference, and practically threw paint at the panel.I ended up reworking the house somewhat from the photo, mostly to correct architectural details. I'm pretty happy with it, maybe I'll try a larger version.

Kathy,
You really captured that last light of evening and have painted a wonderful painting. Thanks for stopping to paint and sharing.

So, what size is this painting?
Absolutely gorgeous, Kathy!!!
The light in this painting is awesome! I love the bright yellows. I thin you made the right choice by stopping - great painting!
Quite brilliant and I adore the little red window.
Omg I love this. You nailed that shadow. Amazing work!
I loved that window too! It was like the cherry on top of the sundae.
This just pops! Great color and shadows! I especially like the two yellow spots on the left. They bring it all together.
absolutely awesome Kathy!
I love the spontaneity in this piece. I particularly like the handling of the upper left foliage... subtle and really matches the lighting!
