| The "hobbit house" on King Edward Avenue 8.5 x 10.25 inches It's not great art, but it is a cute architectural rendering. I surprised myself, and got in done inside of two days. This is truly an adorable little house on one of Vancouver's main streets. It was recently on the market, listed at $2.86 million. No, this is NOT the place to find reasonable homes. Vancouver experienced a huge housing sale boom, starting in the early 1990's. It was quite horrendous; where I was living at the time, houses were being torn down at a rate of one per square block per week. It has slowed down somewhat. But all of these beautiful old homes have been replaced by monstrous houses covering almost the entire property. Anyway, enough of my grump! A few facts about the home ... It was built eighty-three years ago, has 2416 square feet inside, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sits on a 50 x 130 foot lot. You don't get much here for your housing money! I thought I'd like to do a series of older Vancouver homes. Most of them date from the early 20th c., so are quite Victorian in design. I thank you for dropping by, and your comments are always welcome! |
I think its so very beautiful!

Sweet rendering!
ReplyDeleteNice to read some history about this wonderful house! Beautiful ink and wash! Would be a great series!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I am not surprised you were compelled to paint it! But wow - that is some hefty price!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the style of your painting - It really suits it :0)
What is this nice and so handsome to make it as little to do with all those details of beautiful happy Danielle
ReplyDeleteI love this Hobbit house and I couldn't believe the cost of this home!!! I would LOVE to see a series of these homes, Kathryn. Again, wonderful ink and wash!
ReplyDeleteNaples Florida is the same way. Many of the 'old' homes along the beach have been torn down and replaced with enormous stone mansions, of a foreign appearance (Italianate?) that sit upon beachfront lots which previously held three homes. Every square inch is used up.
ReplyDeleteNo charm at all. Forgive my grumpiness ;)
beautiful work and love the house. It's adorable. so very charming. that would be great a series of houses! take care,love,Diana
ReplyDeleteThe painting as well as the house are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLoved the house, can't believe the cost. It is amazing that anyone with that kind of money would buy it. I guess they would just tear it down. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute place - but so much $$$!!!! I don't understand housing markets - it's so different every single city/town/village you look through! I like this painting, though and hope to see more :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn:) It's so different from your normal paintings but I like the house. The colors are fantastic even more beautiful then the real colors! Thanks for the info you shared, interesting:)
