This is a new piece that I sent to Kutztown PA for the annual Invitational Salon of Small Works. I used premeditated colors for the piece, but it still turned out different than I expected.  Many things can spark my inspiration for a piece and then I have to figure in other things such as time limitations or deadlines.  I chose this house for its simplicity and then I decided that I was going to make the painting in reds, whites, greys and black.
