These paintings are a sample of various buildings I have painted over the past years. The top row is of gracious old buildings located on the campus of Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennessee. I worked there for 10 years, and had the opportunity to see these and other Vanderbilt University buildings in their "best light". Light makes a difference in a building "portrait" just as it does in a people portrait. Buildings also sit still and don't grumble about posing!
The buildings, top left and right are the Vanderbilt Univeristy old Medical School and Nursing School entrances. They are both now in a private collection.
The house, center, left was done as a commissioned house portrait by a private collector.
Vanderbilt University, Kirkland Hall entrance: (center top)Sold Colored pencil on illustration board 11 x 14 inches
Customs' House, Midnight (center, right)$150 Acrylic paint on canvas board measures 15 x 20 inches
Kentucky Provencal(bottom)$400 Acrylic paint on gessoed masonite measures 18 x 24 inches
I very much enjoy painting buildings that still stand today, but also enjoy taking an old black and white photo of a building that no longer exists, and bringing it back to life in paints.
After a recent 2005 trip to Frankfort Kentucky, Frank got some beautiful photos of our Kentucky Capitol. I just couldn't resist painting this watercolor of the interior of the Rotunda.
Frankfort Columns: Watercolor on watercolor board/with mat fits 16 x 20 inch frame $400.00

I have recently completed a couple of building "portraits" for St Agnes Church, in Uniontown, Kentucky. Both of these paintings have prints available. Just let me know if you would like a set.
The first painting I did of St Agnes is the exterior...

This was followed by a painting of the lovely interior.
