Brushstrokes are the magic that make a painting come to life. In this small piece, you can feel the energy of this small cottage because the strokes were layed on with confidence and boldness. I began this piece en Plein air last Fall, but when I brought it into the studio it literally fell flat - it had no character!
So I tried to ignore it
until this weekend, when it finally called to me -
So I gave it new life - added fat brushstrokes and rich color - and wow! How fun was that!!
Visit my website http://www.evenhusfineart.com/ to view a closeup and see all the luscious brushstrokes!
Every day I drive by this little house that I believe was a picker's cabin in its better days. I pray that they don't tear it down - it just sits there in an open field with this wonderful huge tree behind it, lonely, waiting. I'd like to move it onto my property and turn it into a playhouse or a small studio. Then it would be at "home."
[and now yes, they have torn it down - so disappointing]
