Here is a quick work of one of the towers of Hearst Castle. If you don't know, I am scared to death to paint buildings. For some reason they cause me fits. Well, I am bound and determined to be able to paint them reasonably well. This is an effort to paint in a very loose style. I was trying hard not to focus on the details like the gargoyles, the cross pattern in the windows, the molding, railings, or the joint of the granite, rather just to paint the essence of the building. I guess its like trying to paint what you see if you were to look at the building through a piece of gauze or hosiery. I think for a first attempt at it, and for being a bit afraid of building, I did a pretty good job.
