Shober's House
Acrylic on canvas – 11" x 14"

Located near 9th Street in Avalon, this classic Victorian shore home was built in 1902. Though modified in recent years to make it comfortable for modern living, it retains the dark woods of its infancy, as well as the charm of a home of the early 1900s.

The house faces east, so as I started the painting around 9:45, the front was flooded with sunlight. By the time I completed the painting at 4:00 in the afternoon, it was nearly all shaded. The sun nearly cooked my canvas which evaporated the water in my acrylic almost on contact.
