Bungalow 1, oil on gessobord, 5x7 inches
I am a lover of the bungalow, whether from the Arts and Craft movement or the more readily available Builder bungalows. It was a style started by the Greene brothers in California, emphasizing simple, yet well-crafted features like butler's pantries, dormer windows, large front porches for additional living space, and beautiful natural floors and woodwork throughout the house. They were usually two bedrooms and one bathroom, served medium to large families; small by today's McMansion standards. And entire neighborhoods of them are beautiful! I have lived in one for 17 years. Now they make great subject matter for painting, so for today and the next 3 postings, be looking for my small bungalow series.
