Mission San Jose 8"x16" $275.00
This is why I love painting--Each subject, each attempt at capturing an image has its own challenge. Here I was rendering an image of a certain church. The drawing has to be good because a wobbly structure is disconcerting to say the least. But the painting lacked interest. The stone structure didn't have much color drama going on so I had to pump up the sky color and add some clouds. Then I had to try and create a focal point. I tried to do that with the famous "Rose Window" situated at the lower center of the facade. Also had the challenge of that green green lawn--still not sure if it looks natural but really is that color. Anyway-I love all the problems that present themselves.
