Those who live in Wakefield, Quebec may find this building familiar. I take a lot of artistic license when it comes to painting and, although the foreground should have been a sidewalk, I changed it. I don't really have a problem with that. It's never my intent to fastidiously record something and I'll do anything I can to make a painting interesting.

Description

"Sunlit Sanctuary" is a 12x16-inch acrylic painting that captures a rustic, white house amidst a lush, green environment. The house, with its slightly weathered look, dark window openings, and sloping roof, sits at the heart of a verdant landscape. Surrounding the house are tall trees, bushes, and grassy areas, seamlessly blending into a serene and secluded atmosphere. In the background, towering trees and a shaded forest add depth and dimension to the scene.

The painting utilizes rich greens and contrasting blues, employing an impressionistic and textured aesthetic that enhances the natural beauty of the setting. The strategic use of light highlights various areas of the landscape, emphasizing the composition's depth. Created en plein air, this artwork combines on-the-spot observation with artistic interpretation, resulting in an engaging and tranquil depiction of a peaceful sanctuary.
