This was a very pleasant property in a conversion of a number of stone-built barns into a mews comprising some six or seven individual properties, around a central courtyard, entered from opposite diagonal corners. The approach by car is also interesting, taking the visitor through an Alpaca Farm whose occupants were as interested in me as I was in them. This view is from an outside corner, though I have made drawings for the same client, of the property viewed from the internal courtyard, both before and after redevelopment, which I'll share some other time. I've experimented with two alternative lighting directions (sketches top left and bottom right) to assess their effect, since different shadow patterns lend different weights to the composition. It seems the bottom right won out. Virtually all my property paintings are in this literal style, probably because it is self-perpetuating - new clients see the portfolio and choose their artist/form their expectations accordingly.
