House No. 188: Queen Anne House at Night

Some more scavenged materials: this time a lovely piece of mat board discarded after being cut out of a larger piece to frame something. It is neatly beveled edges.
I wanted to work in reverse and create a ghostly glowing house in the moonlight, which is why I chose a high Victorian style, as they are ornate and always a bit eerie. Those Victorians were such a macabre bunch.
Striking! The structure of the house makes me want to go inside and see how it's arranged, it seems like a Winchester Mystery House of sorts. Perfect for ghosts.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketchy drawing style, especially juxtaposed again the more "finished" style you usually use for your sketches and drawings for this project.
