The great debate... I decided to paint the window frame/seal out of the picture but having second thoughts...
Haulin' "A"
Continuing with Haulin' "A". I've been debating on whether to paint out the window seal/frame or not. Not sure if it will be a distraction or not. I have two other Toy Stories paintings in the series which I used a different window seal/frame in - one with more of the blue green color in it and they turned out well.
These window seal/frames have a lot of character in them as stand alone pieces. A Friend gave them to me. They were removed from a very old house during a demolition. I think the blue/green stain on them must have been something they used to prevent rot? Not sure (correct me if I'm wrong...) but it sure provides an interesting contrast...
This particular seal/frame one has more of the yellow tan tones in it which I thought would help with the block colors.
We'll here is the next picture of the painting in it's progress: The "A" has been painted...:)
