I recently went with a group of artists to paint in conjunction with the Lake Helen Holiday Tour. Each artist had the opportunity to choose a home to paint that was a part of the tour and to do a painting of it on location. I found this old victorian style house that was mostly white but the lower area around the porch was painted in three different colors. I soon learned that the owner of the home was in the process of painting the house the original colors. This style of colorful architecture is called "Painted Ladies" and comes from the San Francisco area. A rare find in Central Florida. Though the owner had not yet finished painting his house, I decided to finish the Painted Lady in this watercolor painting. One of the people coming by on the tour saw the painting and purchased it for her home. It must have been the combination of colors that attracted her to the painting.
