A new acrylic painting is featured below. I call it: "Villagescape". The idea for the painting came from a nice small picture of Stuttgart, Germany, that my wife inherited some years ago. Somehow, at the beginning, this painting took on more of a "cityscape" look about it, complete with a skyscraper or two.  I worked very hard to obliterate that image and finally got the "village" that I was looking for. The dimensions of this canvas are 18"x 28". I was hoping to achieve a standard size, but the picture also needed considerable "cropping" from its original form.
