I often walk down on Dallas Road and this is a house that is down by Clover Point. The house is quite old and large, all white; white trim, white stucco and white sheets hanging in the window. The yard is overgrown and the paint is peeling from the window frames. This image was taken a few years ago and today when I drove past it is appears to be in need of a lot of tender loving care.
A little voice whispered to me, "Go ahead Sharlene, this will be a piece of cake. Look at all of those big shapes". It was SO NOT a piece of cake! Took me way longer than I had anticipated!

It's a study in white with a lot of subtle shifts. I also couldn't get the photo to show up right. There is a lot more intensity and more blue in the shadow areas than this photograph is showing. I will try photographing it again tomorrow in better light and see if it comes through better.
A piece of cake? I do love you! Large shapes? Well yes, but lots small ones too ... how about those dozen window panes?
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece. Kudos to you for biting it off and doing such a grand job of it!
