Washington DC Capitol with Cherry Blossoms



11 x 14 inches Oil on canvas SOLD




Starting out

It turns out that dealing with symmetry and the uniformity of multiple windows and columns requires a certain amount of dedication and concentration... yikes. I don't really do it very well because I'm not an architectural draftsman, but I did want this to be more than a casual rendering with oil paint.
I have one more of the Capitol to go where I'll try loosen up with color and brush work!

Does working outside with a photograph constitute plein air?

I dunno, a commission that was better done outdoors than in my studio.
