Different Strokes

Artist Karin Jurick has created a fun blog where she posts a bi-weekly photograph and invites artists from all over to interpret, paint and submit their paintings which she then posts on the blog "Different Strokes from Different Folks."

I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing how different artists will express themselves through various media while using the same reference photo. This week, I decided to join in on all the fun and this is my resulting painting.

I love visiting San Francisco and driving by all the colorful Victorian homes, dreaming what it would be like to actually live in one.

Thank you because you never know when you stick a person in a picture that isn't already there
- You don't want to end up with a giant!! :0)

I keep coming back to your wonderful painting. It is well done, full of depth, great study of Victorian architecture and the woman walking the dog adds so much to the composition.
