Homestead Carriage and Barn

9x4.25 watercolor completed over the weekend for a drawing event on WetCanvas hosted by Kate Scott in Canada.  In this landscape, a carriage sits in mid-foreground on a narrow gravel road while old wooden barn flanks the vehicle.  When dry I splattered various neutral colors for tiny rocks and rusty oranges for leaves.  A challenge was to include both orange and black as it was Halloween weekend.
