Still Standing from Donna in WA

[Guest guest]

Hello Group! Finally, I have my project painting finished. I call it Still

Standing. My reference photo came from one of my online friends who is an

amazing photographer. In the photo, the building was set within a residential

area. It had grass and green shrubbery and living trees. In the background

there were modern houses with well maintained yards. In the streets were

automobiles.

Since I wanted to create the sense that this building was abandoned, I took out

all of the greenery and substituted dead or toasted trees, like maybe they had

caught fire. In the photo, some of the wood was almost white with hardly any

visible grain. I'm guessing that the person who built this building used wood

scraps from a variety of different construction projects which would explain the

uneven aging of the wood. Last month, I finished my project painting early in

the month. This time the month is almost offer.

It's always nice to share my paintings with you.
