Pool House Shade

Acrylic on Panel - 9 x 12 inches Ω

Another view of the pool house, one of my favorite places on Earth. I wanted to focus on the roof, so I cropped out the ground. An interesting idea, but a bit disconnected. I did this one for the Daily Paintworks' Shadow Challenge,  based on some sketches I made in Sonoma and my photos (which is where I got the cropping idea).

The darks may be a bit too dark throughout, but I was really focused on the contrast in the light and shadow on the roof, which is what drew me to paint this in the first place.
