When I paint houses, I usually angle rooftops and trees upwards to symbolize optimism because homes are happy places that reflect their owners, past and present. This building was also structured as if it were poised for flight above the well-groomed colourful shrubbery. There’s a swirliness to the sky and driveway and a sense of motion and wind in the trees.
