This is a painting I did for my friend. I don't paint too many houses but it's always a challenge to do...its like building a house.. every detail counts..lol. I have to admit, I enjoyed painting it. Yesterday I finished my painting of the peaches. I didn't like the way it turned out so no more still life paintings for awhile.!!
I don't think I've ever seen you paint a house. You did a nice job on this. Love the variety in the shading of the windows. It looks so much like the local houses near you.
ReplyDeletethank you SO much Joan. I don't do too many houses. A lot of measuring, but I do enjoy painting them.
DeleteI really like this, Hilda! You did a wonderful job. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Linda! I'm so happy you liked it. Something a bit different for me but I did enjoy it!
DeleteGreat job! That's a labor of love with all the windows and shutters. You handled those all so well.
ReplyDeletethank you Stephanie!!! At first, I had a hard time with the windows but once I got through the measuring..a piece of cake..lol
DeleteSuper job Hilda! Meanwhile, I thought your fruit painting was lovely!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Sandra! I enjoyed painting the apples..I'd like to paint another still life someday.
DeleteDear Hilda - your house is super...so real that I can almost feel like I am standing directly in front of it. It is nice to change or use a variety of subjects to paint. I seem to be stuck on flowers and leaves way too much...may drag out my pastels and do a landscape soon. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you Debbie! Flowers is wonderful...I wish I can paint them...as you can see from my past work...no flowers..lol
DeleteA perfect title, Hilda! Love this style of house! I'll bet your friend is very pleased! Great detail work including the shadows on the front lawn.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Carol! They truly liked the house and told me it was perfect! We all like to hear that, right?
DeleteBonito trabajo,Hilda la casa ideal!!!

DeleteWhen I saw the thumbnail I first thought it was a photo . Really well done Hilda ! I know how hard it is to paint houses, I did just one ...and I am not going to make another one soon !
ReplyDeletethank you so much Jane for that lovely comment. It really isn't that easy because I sat and measured for awhile but when the client likes it...it makes it so worthwhile.

Great light and wonderful perspective. I guess you can do anything and do it well. I think the way you did the windows in nothing short of amazing.
