Day 12
8 by 6 inch oil on panel. 

I felt like a change of pace so I found this photo that I've been looking at from time to time but not too sure if it would make a painting.  I'm enjoying this challenge for exactly that reason.  The small format in a short time is allowing me to explore subjects or compositions that I've been hesitant to commit to in a larger more time consuming painting.  Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.
In this case there are some angles off and crooked lines but I've left them like that to emphasize the random ramshackly (is that a word?) feeling of this old building.  This was taken in Victoria's Chinatown.
