Susan and her husband asked if I would paint this scene from Charlestown, MA to go over the fireplace in their home. That is their home on the far right of the painting. They have a great view of the Bunker Hill Monument from their street, Monument Ave. I loved the dramatic perspective of this view and one of the most difficult parts was getting the drawing right before I started painting it. I took this photo below of the drawing before I began to block in the colors.

You've made the architecture itself come to life, Ann. This is beautiful.
What a great job you did of a complex viewpoint.
Looks fabulous over the fireplace. It is made better by your perspective - looking up under the overhang.
Clever!
I would enjoy knowing anyone who painted their house that bright color.
