Efforting?

 

Alameda Home
10" x 10" watercolor
on Arches 100% cotton cold press paper

I spent much of the day on this painting. Whether it's any better than the quick sketch I made a few days ago, I'm not entirely sure. I think it veered into the "efforting" territory I talked about with that post. But it does read well from a distance, unlike the quick sketch, and I do like the textures in the front bushes/foliage and in the roof. 

Therefore, I signed this one and I'm calling it done.
