Abandoned

4"x6" oil on raymar panel. Why the heck would I paint an abandoned building? Just look at her... she's beautiful with her stained siding, lack of windows and missing porch. That's character! I was going to try and paint the overhang's missing posts, basically faking it, but without the stoop it seemed like too much to fake and just a bit too dishonest. She deserves to be dealt with honestly. Maybe I should try to hunt down more abandoned buildings, they can be really interesting subjects. Argh, there's just too much to paint! I usually like to use "Ack," but "Argh" seemed right today.
