Columns Of Light, 10x8
SOLD
This detail was painted from photo reference I took while in Ohio this past summer. It depicts a corner of the Hart Mansion in Minerva. Built just after the Civil War in an Italianate Victorian style, the mansion now serves as a fine restaurant. I found the arrangement of this trio of columns to be unusually beautiful and a wonderful example of what's known in design circles as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Ratio.

I love this Stephen... also Local Flavor...love your light!! Well done! How are you liking your class?
The splash of blue tones in the shadow is a nice accent to the warm orange sections in the stucco. Love the painterly brush work.

I love everything about this piece Stephen! The composition, the title, the light and of course your brushwork are all fabulous!
One of my favorite painters is John Singer Sargent. He would be proud of this one. Stunning
Hey Stephen, great job on the lost edges in this one, it really creates a stong pattern of light and dark. It's a solid design with great color and brushwork to pull it all together, bravo!
