The Keslar Home

So, this painting was done as a birthday present for my sister. It is copied from a photo of her home in Clermont, Indiana. It is very picteresque with a large yard and tons of trees. And, since their house was white, I thought to make it pop amongst a background of fall foliage. Notice the little bunny in the front yard - that was a tribute to Letha and Mark's dogs, Berkeley and Kendall, who love to chase and bark at those little furballs!

A Gloomy Scene

So, this was some fun with pen and watercolor together. I really like how the 'gloomy' clouds turned out....
