My Uncle's House, Tuscany for Dan, 10" x 15", the final product
This one came together better than I thought it would. I put in the bush on the right, got rid of the trailing greenery coming out of the window flowerpot on the left (it was becoming the center of interest, and I wanted the yellow house to be the focal point, the greenery had to go), and tweaked the stonework on the bottom of the yellow building. The yellow building is Dan's uncle's house, full of old world charm. I enjoyed painting this, it was something I wouldn't normally have the opportunity to do. I've never been to Tuscany, maybe someday I'll get there!

This turned out great Christine! You started with a so-so photo and turned it into something magical.
Thanks so much David! I think I was attracted to that chipped paint on the yellow house, it was fun to paint!
Great finish, Chris. I love all the different textures. I really liked seeing all the different stages. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much Doug, the textures were fun to paint. It was much like doodling with a purpose!
