Getting Ready

There is a nip in the air. A couple of hurricanes have been watched. Boats are being pulled out early this fall. No leaves have turned yet, but there is never alot of color on Cape Cod. This painting is from a photo of a house that I had with the shadows through the screened porch. It was early morning so the cast shadows are long. I made up the rest of the scene hoping to get a focal point for the boat. I'm not sure it worked with all of the brightness from the whites. It is always an issue in painting here on the Cape, because so many structures are white.
