Large layered watercolour artwork.

It been a long time between artworks... But this one has been a work in  progress for a long time. I finally finished it and sent it to it's new owner... The top work is a collage of images based on a friend's farm house in Alsace, in France. It is 70 x 50cm, done on paper and is painted in watercolour.
Here it is with the top layer... a cut out, with the wooden structure loosely based on the wooden beams around the house. It is painted in watercolour and acrylic. It is raised slightly, to give it some depth. Below are some close ups.
Views of the orchard.
More of the orchard in spring.
Names of the original owners and the date it was built, in 1843. Part of the hand painted sculpture of a cow.
The orchard in the snow.
These two have the views of the inner courtyard.
