THE BIRTH OF A PAINTING

I don't remember how this painting came to be.  I think a local gallery  asked for something that would demonstrate the process of developing a painting, from start to finish.  The subject is the Howard Pyle studio on Franklin Street in Wilmington Delaware.  I still have this piece tucked away in an old portfolio somewhere.  I think it measures approximately 16x45"

Apologies for the poor quality of the photo.
