the napoleon house


this rainy weather has got me getting caught up with painting to do in the studio... here's how the painting of the Napoleon House in New Orleans turned out. It's been cropped down a few inches from the original canvas I brought to the bar and started on, but I think the composition is improved because of it! it has a nice cool key that is markedly different from the Columns or Antoine's. oil on canvas, 16 by 28

This painting makes me want to walk right into it and have a seat.

Your last job I love. Congratulations. Regarding what you said that painting is much better able to observe more closely, I would love to see it all this way and not through the blogs, although it is understood that it's impossible given the distance.
Greetings
