Watch Hill Carousel Sunset Oil Painting Almost Finished- See how it progressed

Most recent photo of the Watch Hill Carousel oil painting. I have painted the foreground leaves and more architectural details to the buildings. I will continue glazing areas of the painting until I think it is finished.

I started this large 40"x 40" oil painting of the carousel or sometimes called the flying horses way back in October of last year. I often work on several paintings at once because I like to view the art over a period of time.

Here is a closeup of the people waiting in line to ride the carousel.

Refining areas in the carousel under the roof.

Still adding detail to the carousel area.

Starting to look like a sunset.

Starting to add color to the background.

Oil Painting of the Carousel and Napatree Point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island In Progress - Follow Along

My large sunset oil painting of the Historic Carousel and Napatree Point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island is coming along. I have continued refining the center of the painting, the area between the buildings on the right and the carousel. This is where the road curves past the carousel with the people in line and the arch overhead.

Napatree Point has an old fort at the end of the beach that you can walk out and see. In my painting Napatree Point is the penninsula going from the right side to the left just above the center of the canvas. The photo here on the left is the old fort.
