I'm back from my workshop

Three weeks ago I attended a 4 day painting workshop at the Art Studio in Easton, Md. The instructor was Shelby Keefe, an impressionist painter with a neat technique of applying bright, complementary-colored under-paintings in acrylic to your canvas, then when dry (just a few minutes) painting in oil over that in a bold impressionistic style, letting the under-painting pop through. Well, I'm not there with the "bold impressionistic style" yet, but I'm working on it.  

This depicts a late evening summer sun spreading across the porch of an old Victorian home on the east end of Charleston.

Here is my first attempt of applying what I learned.
