Description
I apologize for quality of the photo, or lack thereof. I mostly work from a combination of photographs, memory and imagination, but this was done from life. My studio was in the other room, so I would go into the front room, observe, then run to the studio and paint. (If I painted in the front room, I would have had to turn on a light!)The floor was really wrinkled biege carpet, but I opted for waxed hardwood. Much more interesting, visually.
Oil on panel, 1994, ~30"X24"

Very nice. This probably is a scene that would not be easy to
photograph. I also like the change of pace angle-wise.
But again, I feel that glare from the canvas may be interfering
in getting a really good shot. It definitely appears grainy.
Also, the images should probably all have a watermark. Some of
the others without one, may be too high-res.

Wow, amazing. It makes me feel almost trapped in the house, with the sharp light illuminating the door.

Thanks for your comments and faves..."My Front Door" is one of the paintings I wish I could have back. It was a great challenge to paint it, and I did it at a very intense and hopeful period of my life.
I will have two pieces at OC Fair this year, and a showing at Gallery 207 in Santa Ana in July and August.
Thanks again...MH

you've practically photocopied this with your mind, onto a canvas! it's incredible. I can't paint from real life...can't/don't want to. lol i've never really tried...but i like letting my mind to the imagining. You're like a modern day Vermeer.

The light and dark patterning is wonderfully rendered and designed. It has an honest and haunting ambiance.
