11 x 14, framed $235 plus applicable Pa. Sales tax

A beautiful day and a beautiful home...what more could I ask for?  Generous hospitality by Ann to open her home up to offer us water and use the restroom to three painters that congregated around her home to paint it from three different angles.  I chose to paint the side view because I love to paint architecture and lines.  Plus for me, the walkway leading to the garage and shadows on the white walls were too much for me to resist.

The colors this morning were very bright; the newly seeded lawn was a fresh spring green.  Notice the complimentary colors in this painting.  There is red, yellow and blue; this painting was created using those colors .  The Japanese Maple tree did a dance with different shades of red, green and blue.

Ann suggested I go to see some unusually colored Iris on 19th street which I did.  I painted them in my sketch book; but did a 9 x 12 painting of the side of that person's house.  There I saw a leaning old water pump with a watering can resting on the spout.  In the back ground was a birdbath that drew birds in during the time I was there.  There's also a family of chickadees feeding their young near the waterpump too.  I was entertained until the rains started but was able to return to get most of the painting finished.  Now to frame that one and take it to the gallery at 2318 Market Street.

If you'd like more information on this painting, please email me via my "contact" page.  The painting shown in this blog is for sale through the Gallery until Sunday the 19th of May.
