House as of May 30
Originally uploaded by randubnick.
Over the past two days, I have worked on this painting for my friends. I enlarged the side porch area, worked on the fence, and added a porch swing. There are more adjustments to come, and colors at the rear of the house are not the final colors, just place-holders to indicate where things are in space. As I learn more details and receive more family pictures, I am coming to understand a place I have never actually seen. (I am using a black and white photo, supplemented with later photos taken when the house was white.) So when I finally received some old family snapshots, some of which were in color, I had the strange sensation that something I had painted had come to life.
