A Paint Job of a Paint Job

Since the last painting attempt was going nowhere, I revisited a subject that had also been giving me difficulty in watercolor format, to see if it would work out better in acrylics.

I had taken some reference pictures of workers at the Wight House in Old Sturbridge Village, as they were readying it for use as a research center operated by the Historical Society of Early American Decoration (HSEAD).

The initial steps for this painting went so quickly it seemed as though my brushes were flying; of course, this usually means that in the end I will overwork it, so I have to be careful of a promising start.

 

 

 And finally, finished and framed!
