Firefly homestead

My brother and his partner moved to this lovely home, situated on two hundred acres. They loved living there and have lots of sweet memories of the place. It had a wide veranda which Rob turned into a peaceful oasis. Pastels are very suited to drawings of these scenes. The drawing’s composition is wrong. I had intended to add more and perhaps use a framing to try and fix it. Instead, it found a space on my living room wall where a lamp casts a soft afternoon shadow on it every day.
