Cambridgeshire


This is a watercolour house portrait of a house in Cambridgeshire. I remember walking up to the house during my visit and thinking that the sun was in the perfect place to cast those shadows from the porch across the front of the house. It was lit up perfectly ... about 10.30 am was the time I took the photo and then worked on the painting from my studio.

This is what the home owner said upon seeing the finished painting:

We met Pete when he rang our doorbell some
time back and asked if we would like a watercolour
of our house. He was so personable that we agreed
and he took some photos. We suggested one or 2
bits of "artistic licence" the most important of which
was to include our recently deceased black cat, Wendy,
in the kitchen window.
He executed the brief perfectly.
