I saw this painting by Carl Holsoe (19th century Danish painter) online and was blown away. I have done a few interiors. Currently, I'm working on one of the Vineyard house. I have lots of photos of that house. But Holsoe's piece made me think of my Connecticut home. We moved in when I was two months old. I even got married there. Sadly, the only photographs I have of rooms are full of people. I love these people but they are blocking architectural details. Had I known when the house was sold in the mid-nineties, that I would become an artist and want to plunder its riches, I would have taken better photos. I do have a video of the house which I watched yesterday. Seeing the house again made me desperate to paint it. I spent hours trying to capture still images from the video. I was not successful. The video is old and grainy. Then again, so am I.
