"German House" - SOLD



Click Here to Bid (will begin Thursday, 9/17/09, 8pm, pst)

Well, I did it - I got out in the dreary weather and painted! And I'm so glad I did - thanks for the push Steve PP (from yesterday's comments)! It was drizzling when I went out but miraculously stopped right before I set up. Tomorrow is supposed to be at least without rain, but probably still cloudy. I know this one is simple, but I really like it. I had to take some artistic liberties. The side to the left of the house was cluttered with other buildings so I took them out and continued the distant hazy trees.

Carole, I just love your little paintings. The stills and the landscapes. Love your use of color and brushstrokes.
Thanks,
Mary P.

Hey Carol,

Like this plein air series you have taken up during your trip to Germany. Though the cloudy weather seems to be challenging you a bit.

I was wondering if you could paint a view of the activities when restricted to stay indoors due to extreme weather. I am thinking some romantic looking fireplace, and some hot chocolate/coffee with a cake. Out here in India, when it pours down heavily, we love a cup of nice hot masala tea with some pakoras :)

Well done, Carol! That's a lovely little painting!, and you feel good to boot!

this is a little beauty, very nicely done. I look forward to seeing what you do. Tried to get one, but I am too
sensitive for the harshness of the ebay process! someone came in the last 5 seconds and took my little painting out from under me....

oh well.
