Here is what is on the drawing board now. Quite a few homes look "easy" at first glance but after you get into it you realize the layers of line and surface. What is infront of what, where do the lines go, where are the vanishing points, what would best represent texture and tone, what should I leave out or move.
In this case the flag pole was dead center once I had the sketch layed out. It is moved to the right about a 1/4 inch. Not a big deal and it is still in the middle but it isn't in the exact middle anymore. I did take out the birch in the front as I don't think that would add anything to the composition. Another challenge for me, always, is flags. I really give those allot of thought before any ink goes down. For such a small area I want the flow of the fabric without it looking over worked. Most importantly I want it to look natural.

These last couple weeks of spring I have been studying trees. I love observing the baby leaves. The structure of the tree is out in the open but not bare naked. The wide variety of greens makes me wonder why people don't drive around looking at spring foliage instead of fall. I like spring better and think the colors are the same level if not better than fall.

Back to the drawing board,
