Nov 21, Mina's Parent's House!

Wait...
Did I do it AGAIN?!  I did, didn't I?
On the list I posted a few days ago, I said I was going to paint Laura's Lighthouse photo... but I decided to paint Mina's Parent's House instead!  At first I was not sure I could do this one, with the focus on those crazy pink flower bushes-  I don't think flowers are easy to paint...  but the more I looked at this photo, the more I appreciated the contrasts and values, and those wonderful tones in the wood siding, and just the crazy angle the photo was taken from intrigues me!  So I had to paint this one!
I think the biggest difference between this painting project and my dog and cat ones is that I am not as confident in painting houses (this fast and this many, anyway!) and so I didn't really push to get you all committing to buying your paintings, which is also why I made them available with auctions as well as at a retail and not commission price~ so thank you SO much those of you who've decided to snag yours right away!  I really appreciate it!  And thank you for all the generous and supportive comments too!  I'm gradually feeling a bit better about each one, which was my point at the start.  And I'm sorry I keep falling off the list, but if you have specifically ASKED me to paint yours so you can buy it, I will still paint it for sure!  Don't worry!
