Colonial In Color, 5x7
The shapes and angles of this house in the late afternoon light attracted me. In reality, the house is all red brick, black shutters and the small addition at bottom left, sadly, is covered in white vinyl. This being the case, and because I wanted to accentuate the myriad shapes and angles, I decided to give each wall a color of its own. I like the festive, bungalow feel of the colors, even more so when I recall that this house is, in real life, the rectory of a church.

Fantastic, Stephen! Now that is what being an artist is all about.
Great story and great painting.
This has a wonderful abstract quality and your colors are perfect!
I like what you've done here!
What a cheery little painting here...I love your freedom to play.
Stephen, I really like your subject matter and the loose style. It's very similar to mine. I live in a rural area of Missouri and there's no mountains or beach to paint, so I have to resort to old trucks, farm equipment,etc. Great job.
Nice work, enjoyed viewing your site. Nice style!
Your style is just so direct, and always a pleasure
