This is en plein air painting with many changes. The house was build in 1771, composed of rock, but seems oddly contemporary. I did not want to get involved with picky rock details so I left that out and changed the color to white. The building beside the house was a log cabin kitchen. Kitchens were always built separate from the house because of fire danger. The log cabin looked dull (it was not a sunny day that morning) so I presto-chango-ed it into a shed of some sort--an opportunity for more shape and color.
