I have one small suggestion that I think would improve an already wonderful painting. I am a teacher and helping people adjust their works is what I do. I totally agree. Your house is beautiful!

Thanks for the comment. It would take more than a painting challenge to relocate for sure! Hello Randy. The underpainting probably added 50% more time. I am kind of slow anyway so I am sure more seasoned painters would move a little quicker. The method definitely gets a thumbs up. It not only kept the drawing on track but also served as a nice undertone for the piece. For instance. The underpainting became the light for the trees and the primary glow for the foreground. I plan to explore this more in future work. Hi Liz! Thanks for the comment. It would take more than a painting challenge to relocate for sure!

How much more time did it take you painting with this process? Would you still give this method a thumbs up? Great job. How much more time did it take you painting with this process?
Would you still give this method a thumbs up?

I like the lovely shadows on the house, too. great color. Glad you've opted for tree study in lieu of relocation. :-D The trees look great, Lee, and best yet, really support the painting of house.

Funny you should mention the mystery surrounding the house. Although the house is part of the mining museum it has an abandoned feel to it, which has evoked questions in my own mind about its history. I am thrilled that you got the same feeling from the painting. From what I have studied, that it what painting is about! Thanks Sherry. Funny you should mention the mystery surrounding the house.

Both the house and setting look like those I have seen occasionally in my area. There is a bit of mystery to this place as I find myself what kind of lives have been lived behind those windows. What a great job, Lee! This is so very lovely! Both the house and setting look like those I have seen occasionally in my area.
