Hi Mike, I only posted the first image to show everyone what it looks like before I started cropping. If I were to paint the whole thing I wouldn't want it to be a figurative, just a painting of an old house. But in this case it's already been done.

But when you start cropping it down and add a body it becomes something very different and timeless. I can't wait to get someone on that rock by the small window!

You are right about the fifty or more possibilities here. Tom and I are going to do more exploring on our next ride, and check lighting at different times of the day. There are huge trees to the left of the house, when thier leaves come out I wonder how much light will actually get through.

Costuming will also be a concern here, european, 1700s to 1800s midwestern?? This is going to be fun!

Jean
