Really solid drawing, ...wonderful painting Francis. Really solid drawing, great color and good composition. Reminds me a little (once again!) of Lucian Freud's views of his backyard. I will look forward to see this painting when it is completed, seems like you must be pretty close.<br /><br />It was also interesting to read about your decks history on your wife's blog. Also to read that you recently took a road trip to Charleston. I have family in Charleston - I was born there and lived there for a few years. Parts of that city I'd love to paint sometime.Larry Groffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03728527791669354577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940104377566777483.post-27819698749509739802010-06-18T23:24:56.439-07:002010-06-18T23:24:56.439-07:00What a beautiful painting this is for me.

I look forward to seeing more.Rebeccahttp://rebeccaharp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940104377566777483.post-66265417510283881682010-05-29T10:26:37.261-07:002010-05-29T10:26:37.261-07:00I really love this view of the back of the house, ...I really love this view of the back of the house, and hearing about your thoughts as you've created this series. The small moments captured in the paintings are what intrigues me, but it is still strange and a bit haunting for me to see these spaces that we live in and know so well with out us in them...so far there have been no people in this home series and I always think of these spaces with us in them. I also like how this one of the back of the house captures so fully the intimacy of the scale of our life in Brooklyn with the houses so close together. I can't wait to see it with out Hydrangeas in full bloom!! xoFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545466344164573258noreply@blogger.com
