You took up the challenge to paint this so well Sirkka. Lovely painting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann!
DeleteI think you did a great job on your house! Look at it again in a couple of weeks and I bet you'll see all the wonderful details and value you created. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Karen! Thank you!
DeleteThis is a stately house! I especially like the colors you chose, even the purples in the ground in front! Did you do this live or from a photo? I like the challenge of drawing houses/ building on site. I think it brings out their personality more! I'm glad to hear it's spring where you are now and picturing you being warm! Keep challenging yourself! Houses like you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn! Since Somewhere to sketch -a fantastic blog- I have not painted any houses, so I wanted to challenge myself now. It is done from live and photo, surely the site gives much personality to the house. At last we can enjoy the spring ( at least from time to time!). Yes, I will challenge myself with houses and landscapes this summer:)
DeleteLovely work on the house! It looks like it is brand new and up for sale.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan!
