an Englishman's home is his castle (II)




(12" x 48") Winner of best abstract painting in the Virginia Mary Rotary Art Show in Paraparaumu, October 2007. This is a the second of two paintings in this style. The first had even more rudimentary houses in the background. The houses in this one came out a little more tighter in formation. A great deal of work has gone into this but I have tried as best to keep it light hearted and not overwork it. I wanted a whimsical, unpretentious painting and am very pleased with the outcome. Colours used are white, green, yellow, burnt orange, light and dark purple.
