I have let my imagination run loose with this scene. I’ve changed some things and moved some things around which helps me express the actual feeling and spirit that I get when I stand and gaze at this house on the street. In reality the house is more structured, more functional, but I am very happy the way I have been able to overlay reality with dreams and fantasy, while still feeling fairly true to the house. It really is what the place is like in my mind when I observe the little house as it sits in our community.
I love this little house. It has been under renovation for some time. The house was already a beautiful and charming little house and yet I feel that the addition has been done in a careful way without sacrificing any of the original charactor. My hats off to the owners and the builders who carried out the work. A job well done.
