Post 353: Lincoln Memorial in the Fall, a DC Season Series

Painting Name: Lincoln Memorial in the Fall, a DC Season Series

A new commission for a new painting for a client is so exciting. Especially when the client is a repeat customer! We have a series of Washington DC artwork going, and so far we have spring and winter. This painting will be the Lincoln Memorial set in the fall. Watch the painting as it progresses here.

SKU: 08AJ24ACGC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 12x16 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2024

Framed?: No

Commissioned? Yes

SOLD

What Brought About this Painting?

I was contacted one day a couple of years ago on Etsy from a fellow that lives in Washington DC. At that time, he had seen one of my Washington Monument paintings with the spring cherry blossoms and he wanted one in a certain size. We agreed and I painted it for him. Some time after that, he wanted another painting. This time, he was thinking Washington DC in the winter, so I painted Christmas at the White House for him. Hence, this is how my Washington DC Seasons Series got started.

Winter in Washington DC

Now is time for Washington DC in the fall, so the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool are up. I'm thinking DC in the summer should have fireworks next, but we'll see.

Watch the painting as it progresses! I'll add pictures as the painting moves along so keep an eye out here. The canvas preparation kicks off the painting and that isn't too thrilling to see, so give me some time to get this baby viewable...

Friday, August 16, 2024 3:23pm. Steadily sharpening up the lines and colors. Water reflection is always interesting.

Fall in Washington DC

After speaking with the client, he wanted it to be MORE fall colors so I added more orangey, yellowy, and orange-reds, and some leaves already down. The finished painting (maybe) (minus varnishing)!

What do you think?

Started this painting this evening, Saturday, June 12, 2021 and this is what I have so far...

Doesn't look like much yet but it will get better. It's 10:05 on a Saturday night. I think I'm hanging up the paintbrush for the evening.

Sunday, June 13, 2021 8:30 AM Are they starting to look like apples yet? What a difference in the lighting from the picture last night and the one this morning! That's not the painting colors - that's the lighting!

Monday, June 14, 2021 6:52 AM - I volunteered at Clearbrook Center of the Arts both Saturday and Sunday. It was so nice to get to know other members of PWAS and be able to ask more experienced artists questions about various art business and art techniques and how their experiences shaped how they conquered those challenges.

Back to "An Apple a Day" today...

Monday, June 14, 2021 9:53 AM - Now, do they look like apples? I hope so because - completed painting...
