This watercolor painting depicts a two-story house with a green roof and a balcony on the second floor. The house has a large porch on the first floor, supported by columns. The windows on the second floor have decorative ironwork, and the house appears to be in a state of disrepair. The painting is done in muted colors, with shades of yellow, green, and brown dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of a charming, if slightly rundown, old house. The artist's use of watercolor creates a sense of delicacy and fragility, which suits the subject matter perfectly. To learn more about the artist's work, check out Hooper.
