I finally finished this painting. I am calling it 'My Favorite Spot'. It was a challenge in many ways. The foliage was very intricate and really a big part of the painting so I was more detailed than usual. The chair is the main event though along with the shadows and light on the deck and railing.
As I mentioned in previous posts - this is at my camp in northern NY. We added this new deck on the side of the cabin and it is so private tucked in among the trees. I love to take a beverage and a book out there to relax. If you missed my previous posts then, by all means scroll down to see this piece in various stages of completion. If you are a painter then you know that there are some points in the paining process that are just down right ugly! You have to persevere past that stage to get to the good stuff!
