Work in Progress

How can an Impressionist, such as myself, pass up the rich architecture found in my hometown, St. Joseph, MO?  A city with so many structures from the 18 and early 1900's built by well known architects of the time, from near and far. 

Here is a painting in progress depicting afternoon light through the pillars of the Italianate Krug Park castle.  A structure over a hundred years old, well known and loved by the locals, yet ignored and left in disrepair.  It's a shame it became nothing more than prop for a playground, as the old garden grounds of this gem contain monkey bars, swings, slides, and woodchips---certainly nothing worthy of my palette. 

Aerial perspective will be present through the entry way.  Linear perspective is strongest.  Reflected light all around will be a focal point in this piece.  Four color palette is being used.  Enjoy!
