Florida Sunporch

Oil on canvas, 30" x 24"

I decided to take a break from winter and post something a little different.  This is an oil of a friend's sunporch I completed in 2008. The light shines through the vines and illuminates the porch for only a week or two this time of the year.The textures in the vines, plants, furniture and floor provided an interesting compositional challenge.  This painting received the Frank and Andrea Swartz Memorial Award, Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts Competition, 2008.
