Two Houses at Sunset - watercolor (SOLD)

i enjoy painting landscapes...it's been one of those surprises i found out about myself as i've gotten older...most of them come from my head - they are usually places i've seen in the past or would like to see...sometimes they are of my neighborhood as well - it's so hilly and lovely where i live...soon the leaves will be golden and yellow and i'll have a whole new pallette... thanks for looking!
