Elaine O. — February 11, 2023

Since this was just a study, I don't feel too precious about it. That's why I didn't hesitate to add a last minute dark glaze over the houses to add contrast between the sleeping houses and the sun-kissed tree tops. It also unified them into a cohesive group and shifted the focus to the light instead of the houses.


It could have been a total disaster, but I like it! And now, only one more session and I'll be calling this complete.

  1. I really love this one! Something about the warm and cool colors next to each other... Maybe Greeta's book really does know what it's talking about!!

  2. So many charming paintings of European rooftops and you’ve done it for the iconic Chicago alley.
