Houses on the Green, Kew is a 1940 watercolor by Frost, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows three old brick houses lined up on a quiet street. The middle building has a small shop on the ground floor with a sign that says "The Dewdrop." Ivy climbs up the sides of the houses, and each has big windows with flower boxes underneath. The paint is light and loose, with soft colors and quick brushstrokes that make it feel like a sketch. The artist signed it "G.L. Frost" in the corner, and the title says it’s from Kew, a place near London. The buildings look cozy and lived-in, with a mix of plain and fancy details.
