Georgia Historic Home Landscape Painting In Progress "Gould's Corner" by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

I am posting the intiial stages of a new painting of a historic home in Augusta, Georgia. My intent is to help you understand the creative process. Before I toned the canvas I did a pencil sketch of the subject matter in my sketchbook. While drawing I decided on the composition for the painting and noted my light , medium, and dark values of the painting. 

Check back Saturday to see the stages of development in this painting!!
