ANOTHER VISIT


This is a new painting called "ANOTHER VISIT". It is 16x20 inches, oil on canvas. I was in Coronado when I came across this scene and it struck me as something I really wanted to paint. That massive tree casting a shadow on the 1950's house, the play of light and shadow in the foreground that silhouettes the old Porche. It made me think of an untold story of what kind of dialogue was happening here, between the car's driver and the tenant of this home.

This is an idea I want to explore more myself. Just a simple modern house. I really like the forground shadows. A suggestion: on cars I avoid side shots, a slight 3/4 helps with depth.
