This cabin in the woods is a commission I painted for a client. Many Phoenicians make weekend escapes from the summer heat to the high country in Northern Arizona but not everyone has a little piece of heaven to call their own. This client wanted a portrait of their cabin they love so much. I took several trips up to the cabin to familiarize myself with it, take photos from different angles and different times of days. Then I painted two oil sketches on canvas paper to help the client select the composition they liked best. From that selection and some additional modifications, I painted the final piece, a 16 x 20 on linen panel.
