This painting was plein air started and inspired. But when I got back in my studio, I decided to reduce the size of the outbuilding. I needed to lengthen the path from the shaded gate area , where I sat, to the door. There was lots of sunshine and shade from huge trees at Fort Hunter that morning--garden gates and charming flower beds galore and plenty of quaint things and areas to paint.

I love the mystery of the shadows in the foreground, and how the eye is pulled into the painting by the sunlit building. This is terrific, Cecelia!
Great depth in this Cecelia, and I love the purple color on the gate.
Such delightful charm! Beautiful garden and light!
Lovely colors. This is turning out to be a prolific year for you!
Cecelia, I love the colors you used. This is a beautiful painting and I get a relaxed, pleasing feel.
Love this one Cecelia! This is terrific! Cool shadows and warm sunshine! Great!
Your sun-bleached palette in the background is a beautiful counter-point to the lushly saturated foreground. Your sparse use of lavender and pink opens-up the environment within your shadows. Nice painting, Cecelia!
Thanks so much everyone-positive comments from such amazing artists means a great deal to me.
I agree with the others, the purples, the inviting light at the building, muted colors... love it.
