My Friend's Dream House

*This is an unfinished picture of the painting*

This a portrait of my friend's dream house. She gave me a picture of it and I painted it for her. I did make a few slight changes to the colour and composition of it because I thought it would look better that way. The fence in the picture frames the house beautifully. In the finished piece, I added more white to the fence so that it would contrast with the colour of the house.

From the outside it looks empty however inside there may be lots of stories unfolding.

I like the way that the light and shadows fall on the house, it gives it a more realistic feel. Thankfully, my friend says that she loves the painting :)
