JP Rooftop at Sunset


This is from the view off of my front balcony. The sunsets lately have been rockin' my world and since the balcony is a great place to paint, I expect to paint more rooftops and skies. Living in New England and painting houses is hard because every time I go to paint something I think, "Oh wait... Edward Hopper already painted this." Me and Edward Hopper have some things in common, artistically.

Anyway, this painting is not finished. I can't help but feel like it needs something else. Like a tree! Something that breaks up the barrier between the house and the sky. It is pretty rigid at the moment.

  1. I love this - it looks like the view from our apartment in Aix en Provence!

  2. Hooray! Thanks!! So would you say it needs anything else? Like a tree? Or does it look done?
