Watercolor home portrait of quaint farmhouse

Just completed on December 12th …  an 8″ x 11″ watercolor of an updated farmhouse with lots of charm and appeal! The artwork portrays the home in the summer season with beautiful and abundant flowers on and around the deck, and includes two white ceramic pitchers on a table in a corner — a very nice personal touch! The artwork was commissioned to be a Christmas gift, and I hope that the recipient will be pleased!
