Linda asked us to do any scene using a loose landscape technique and other things we have learned in the watercolor challenges.
My SIL's birthday is next week. He has been building their new home for over a year (almost a year and half). It is on their dream lot on the lake. I drew the house as it looked a few months ago and added in some ducks and and fish - two of his loves. I did some loose watercolor on both the ATC and the background panel.
I know he will love it.

So many details to love about this painting. The personalizing you did with the house and lake is fantastic. The depth and perspective you created is amazing. You had to smile when you finished. It was made from the heart and it shows. Thanks for always adding an outstanding painting in the gallery challenges. We all enjoy your talent. Hugs

How awesome is this...very!!!! I love a card made especially for a certain person or people. They will have to hang this somewhere in the new house. Super work on the challenge. Sure hope they will enjoy their new home and I'm quite sure they will. Sounds as if a lot of work went into it.

Amazing painting! The story behind the art makes it even more special. The watercolors/shading are superb. The depth you created with your design and detailing is stunning...

A lovely dream home on the lake. You have captured the lovely country feel in this scene - right down to the fish in the lake and the ducks looking like they are flying south or north depending on the seasons.

Oh, how fun to do a rendition of the home your SIL is building. It will forever be a favorite of his. Smart that he will add ducks & fish - my BIL put swans in his lake and now they have to be herded into a pool in the garage whenever the lake freezes so they don't die!! That bigger fish has so much personality! Well painted.

Oh, my goodness, Nancy! What an inspiring card, so meaningful. Love the dimension of your ACT within the ‘property’ of their lake house. Enchanting. Happy New Year, mf.
