House No. 188: Queen Anne House at Night

House No. 188: Queen Anne House at Night
colored pencil on upcycled matboard
10 in. x 10 in.
188/365; 07/07/11

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.

  1. 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.

  2. I love the sketchy drawing style, especially juxtaposed again the more "finished" style you usually use for your sketches and drawings for this project.
