This week's painting is a portrait. Okay, not one in the typical sense of the word but a home portrait. Our friends just bought this house and I think it has such a beautiful entrance, I wanted to try to capture it on paper. I love the door and that tree looks so sculptural and it creates a nice balance for my composition. I'd like to say that I created the composition but it really looks like this. There are actually still a few colored leaves on the tree (only in California does fall last until March) but I wanted it to look completely skeletal so I left them off. Artistic license again...I'm feeling the power!
This photo doesn't really show the colors very well. The painting is more colorful.

Nancy, this is exquisitely beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if you could launch a business in this type of piece alone. Truly a gorgeous piece and I love your artistic eye and ability to capture a beautiful scene such as this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nancy! I love the composition because of the way the pathway leads the eye into the image, and then the tree leads the eye around again. Really nice!
