“Home in France”
9x12" acrylic on panel
The folks who commissioned me to do this painting have been great customers. Pilot of an F-15 Strike Eagle, Colonel Nolan recently retired from the US Air Force. Like so many military families, they have traveled extensively. This is the third different house that the family has commissioned me to paint. Wife, Carla, likes to have paintings of all the homes in which they’ve lived. The photos of this house were not the best quality, but there was no going back to take different photos. It seems to me that painting this house in a French Impressionist style was the perfect solution to a problem of not-so-good photo reference of a house in France.
