Decisions...

I have done some searching on the net for plein air videos of streets and buildings to mentally "loosen up". It's turned warm and inspiring here in southern CA, and my decision is to do an early morning look for this grand old Newport home. An undercoat of burnt sienna with a hint of red should warm it up. Because the shapes are simple, it's the light and shadows that will make the painting interesting to me for sure. Begin tomorrow. Should be fun to get the shapes set, and perhaps the dark and light areas.
