Westboro Watercolours

A project I've been working on. I love the houses in this area of Westboro: old, rich, British style buildings. My favorites are the Tudor houses, with their dark beams. I wanted to paint them anyway, but a couple of the owners have bought my originals, so it seems I can make a little side-business out of it too :) Here is one that I sold yesterday. The owner is a man who has been an art dealer for 50 years. He had frames sitting around his livingroom, and various famous paintings by Michelangelo, etc, on his walls. It's so much fun to have an excuse to see the insides of these houses and meet the people who live in them.
