Granny's Shanty

Granny's Shanty! AKA, my Grandma's little house in Tacoma, WA ... probably the coolest place in the world.

I think something went wrong with the big tree (or her 'Willow' as she calls it, though I don't think it's a willow). See those white patterns? They are supposed to be light. To me they look like a giant, splotchy stains. Oh well, what can ya do at this point.

Done in colored pencil. I used the grid method. I felt that I needed to give the grid trick another go as my last one ended in disaster (the Audrey Hepburn drawing ... which I loved .... so it was of course lost in the mail when I sent it in for evaluation.... grr). Consequently, I will NOT be trusting the US postal service with the piece.
