The Corner House in German Village

I finally finished this painting that I started several weeks ago.  The painting is 9" x 12" and is painted on a canvas panel in oil paint.  There was a lot more to this painting than I first anticipated - much architectural detail - and I left out a bunch too!  It is a nice memory of a nice afternoon sketching in Columbus while Michelle and Jody painted.

FORGOT TO SAY THE COLOR ON THIS FINISHED PIECE MAKES THE HOUSE STAND OUT SO NICE.

Wonderful job, Barb. This does look so much like that house on my street.

Jane said...

Yes! This is such a typical German or even Danish house. I love the colors and the fact that you painted it in such a realistic way.

Carol - glad you like it. It looks like houses from my youth in Cleveland, also - nostalgic!

I wasn't aware that this was typical for German - glad to know that and also Thanks for you nice comments!
