House #2154 with Palms

Commissioned Piece - NFS

6 x 12 Acrylic on canvas panel

What a fun & different house this was to paint! Living in the NorthEast, I don't get to paint many palm trees. And this style home is not common in my area either. Really enjoyed this one - and it sort of painted itself!

Because this house is low and long, I opted to do a 6x12 size canvas. Otherwise it would look lost on a larger rectangle - it really needed the smaller ratio. My other option was to crop away some of the house - actually, quite a bit. I thought of doing a vertical of the entry & 2 palms only - may offer that as an option if the person this commission piece is for is not happy with the format. I personally love it!

Artist notes:

I am working on a second home portrait and I have to admit that it is really 'kicking my butt' in regards to the angles & perspective. There is a great deal of vegetation (that I need to omit), but it blocks so much of the house & it's angles, its very hard to determine where the lines meet & the angles occur! It's quite a challenge but I am determined to succeed! 

With the holidays rapidly approaching, and the gift giving lists starting, wouldn't a "Home Portrait" make a wonderful gift for someone? Contact me if you are interested in one - there is still time to order & receive one for the holidays. But don't wait too long - the days are flying by!
