This Christmas, I’d gotten stumped as to what to get a couple people for gifts, and thought I might make a painting or two, but got a bit stumped for ideas. I finally at the last minute panicked and did a couple paintings of the log cabin my parents built back in 1979. I did them both simultaneously, and very quickly, a little too quickly, and they came out very similar, and ok, though not really as well as I would have liked.
They were based on this photo:
Here are the two paintings side by side, just as they were completed:
They’re both 8×10 inches, acrylic on canvas.
And here’s a closer shot of one of them (the shaded area on the bottom is a shadow from the easel — bad photography):
