Watercolor of green house on a hill with brick sidewalk, surrounded by trees and flowers. A lamppost stands in the foreground.

Line art ink outline of house with lamppost in foreground.

Pencil sketch of house with lamppost in foreground.

A little Christmas present for my folks - a line & wash of our childhood home. Not perfect but I think it came out pretty good. The garage doors got a little scuffed because I had to work around an RV in the reference image haha.

Weird visuals.
