Painting en plein air during Lafayette Square Plein Air Competition at Victorian-era home at 2340 Park Avenue

SUMMARY OF PLACE:: This interior is the dining room of the Victorian-era home at 2340 Park Avenue in the Lafayette Square Historic District. Early afternoon light was pouring into the dining room from the south-facing window. I painted this scene in conjunction with the Lafayette Square Plein Air competition.
INSPIRATION:: My goal for this painting was to capture the light I saw. The light entering the room created a stunning picture. The tall victorian windows allowed an abundance of sunlight in, and the overall quantity of light in the room was magnified by the bounce of light off the hardwood floors and rich dining room furniture.
