Architecturally, it is very easy to overdo the "Painted Lady" look on a Victorian.
Is outside finish considered part of architecture rgrenaderphoto? I thought it had more to do with physical construction and materials used, not necessarily colors (as in paint or stain).

The colors of paint on this house remind me of some I have seen in the city of New Orleans, which is why I stopped to photograph it in the first place. And while I did a credible job of bringing out the colors, Lynne looked at it once and said "How tacky! It's a shame they would do that to such a beautiful house.

I have heard the comment here that PP is used to cover up a bad photograph. If anyone is so inclined, you have my permission to download this picture, apply a thick coating of Neon Glow (or any other effect) and upload to this thread. Have fun!

Bob, I like this shot and the way you processed it. Yes, it is different, color wise that is, but I still like it. It sure is not the same old same old.

I think it's OK actually, just as you would expect to see in the US.

Not too tacky for my tastes. I live in a 3 story old house (116 years old). You just can't beat the architecture of these old homes.

Not quite as tacky in black and white.

Without the purple it's not a bad looking house.

Bob

Having grown up in New Orleans, the paint scheme looks rather subdued.

It looks like a beautiful old Victorian home painted in true Victorian colors. I love the home and the photo, the homeowner might like a copy.
