En Plein Air: Red-Roof House (Oil 10 x 16)


I have known the house for quite a while because it is on my bike route. Also, I have harbored this idea of painting it for long. The house is located on a secluded corner of Louis Ave., very quiet for its one side is on the canal. Very little traffic. the whole view gives people a bucolic feeling even though it is not quite in the country. Yesterday, when I was riding my bike, I noticed it looked beautiful in the setting sun. That is why I went there in the afternoon. By the time I set up, it was past 3:30 PM, so basically I was painting into the effect. It took about two hours.
It belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Walters, who were very friendly and came over to watch me paint it.
