A lovely painting Earl, love your gallery :)

Lovely fresh and spontaneous work Earl.

Lovely fresh washes, Earl, very nice.

This interpretation is of one of the group of period buildings in the large grounds of "Wonnerup" in Western Australia. It is a good idea to bring the sky down into the subject matter below, for example, into hills if a landscape is being painted. Here I have brought some of the colour of the sky, which was painted wet-in-wet, down and onto the roof increasing its value at the point closest to the viewer. The interplay of white areas give a freshness and contrast to the painting. Arches 300gsm Not was used and the paints were Winsor & Newton.
