Thanks for the quick reply, Mike and Allan.
Mike,
You are right, the gate is open. I thought at first that it was closed, and positioned in 90 degrees to the front of the house. Now that I see it open, I can see another fence there, behind the gate. In this image you'll see my shoot of what it could be like:
1) The sun lits the side of the house, but it's up there. Maybe the photo was taken around 2:00PM.
2) As you said, the gate is light because it is open, 90 degrees to the front wall of the house.
3) This low concrete wall casts a short shadow because it is parallel to the front of the house.
4, 5, 6) I think the wooden fence never turns 90 degrees away, or it would be light like the open gate. It takes another angle instead, and, like Allan suggested, it is in straight angle to the viewer. You can see in the terrain that the fence is casting a shadow, so the sun is behind it all the time.
7) There's another fence behind the gate, made of wooden boards. I think it prevents people from entering the house through that gate. the gate leads to the orchard.
This sounds plausible to me. And Mike, this painting will be a gift for another person of the same family, who was born in that house more than 50 years ago. I must paint it the more convincing possible, because someone in the family will certainly remember a lot about that house. Tough job again. Looks like they chase me.
Thanks again for the help, guys. If you find anything else, please let me know.
Ant
