Loving the Evening Light

This painting began as a plein air piece and I finished it in the studio. There are many lovely cottages at Lakeside. Members of this historical gated community take pride in their neighborhood and most of the cottages proudly fly the stars and stripes. With so many beautiful cottages it's sometimes hard to decide which one to paint. It was the late afternoon light that drew me to this screened in porch, in particular the glowing light on the hanging basket.
