Old Homestead with Owl

12x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper painted today for the weekend drawing event on WetCanvas in which participants have 2 hours to choose then complete their art.  I used a portion of an old rundown abandoned structure then tried to make a vignette by losing at least three edges.  The owl was added to the roof as if he was surveying what tree or old window opening to use for a nest. For the darks I used neutral tint and ultramarine blue.
