Paint Party Friday - Beverwijck

For Paint Party Friday, I'm featuring a piece called 'Beverwijck', inspired by an early New York Dutch Settlement in the 1600s.  I also incorporated a Rose of Sharon plant in the foreground that I have used in a few previous pieces.  I added some clouds to complete the painting.  Acrylic on textured blue cardstock (12" x 12").

Very lovely, Christine. You did motivate me to do a card for my granddaughter. I need better paper for my watercolors though.
