Watercolor sketch of houses and landscape. There are two houses, the one that is slightly larger is located closer to the left side of the paper, the smaller house is closer to the right side of the paper. The walls of the houses are purple and the roofs are red. The houses are situated slightly above the center of the paper and the front of the paper is dominated by an expanse of light green which fades to yellow as it gets nearer to the houses. In the background, behind the houses, there are dark blue mountains. There is a strip of sky which is white, tinged with blue around the edges of the paper.
