I recently finished another painting. This one is loosely based on a photo I took of an ornate, colonial door in San Miguel de Allende.
The painting will be a gift to give to a friend and former colleague on my next trip back to Ohio. Many years ago, she traveled with me to Mérida, Yucatán, and she was fascinated with the doorways of the old buildings. I thought of her when I saw the many interesting doors in San Miguel, and I decided to do a painting for her. I took it to the frame shop yesterday to be framed.
I am not 100% satisfied with it. In spite of using a t-square, my lines are not perfect. But I guess I can say that a building that's over 200 years old settles and shifts and is no longer plumb. 😉
That's how they'll know it's a painting and not a photograph. ;-) (And it still looks very nice, by the way.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Meredith. They say an artist is his own worst critic. (By the way, the painting is a gift for Carol Schultz Raiff. She rarely uses the computer, so I think I can safely post the painting.)
