I love this property. I remember visiting the Astor's Beechwood (www.astorsbeechwood.com) as a little girl and taking the tour --led by actors in period costume-- with my family. I remember standing in the front of the group, eagerly following our guide through all the rooms of this lovely mansion. I truly believe my childhood trip to the Astor's Beechwood sparked my interest in museums, and in turn my studies in college.
I started this painting over the summer, and have carried it around in my paint kit for some time. I wrote previously that I struggle painting white buildings, and this neutral color was also a challenge for the same reason.
