“Park Place Shed”  8″x 10″ oil on panel

This small plein air oil painting was done about a month ago as I was working on a few scenes around my town.  The street is one I walk down regularly with my dog and I’ve always loved this little shed arrangement. It’s nestled between two historic residences and a charming eclectic garden. Numerous times I’ve wished I had my camera and no matter what season is present the location carries a warm hearted charm.

Painted on a panel that was rather frustrating at the beginning because the paint slipped around.  It’s one of the things I don’t like about some panels.  However over time I was  able to build up the paint and texture.   The early signs of greenery and still barren branches added a lot to the character of the landscape on that day.
