Thatched Roof House on Canal, watercolor, 21 x 29 cm/8.3 x 11.8″

There are many thatched roofs in the northeastern area of the Netherlands. I decided to let this one veer towards realism to give the viewer a sense of what being on the boat is like in this country. We were moored around the curve thus the canal appears off to the side.
