The house that stopped me from painting for 2 weeks

I thought I posted photos of this hideousness but I hadn't. Here it is. The background never came together. I am having a hard time with leaves. Today I went to the Groveland Gallery to see the Mike Lynch show (last day) and read in a little book that he had a hard time with tree leaves and when painting at night trees could just be shadows. He paints at night for a number of reasons.
