Day 4 of 30 Day Paint Challenge - "Garden Gateway" By Eva Marie Tanner Klaas

This is a painting of a house on the beach in Brookings, Oregon. It sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The azaleas were in bloom and it was a warm day when I took the picture.
I struggled with the values with this. Why? It was from a photograph. Every thing was very dark or washed out even though it was a good photo. That is why I prefer to paint from life than photo. I call this piece "Garden Gateway".
