Alix and Seila’s House

5/29/18 San Jose, Calif.

When we were in San Jose a couple of weeks ago, we visited my niece Alix and her husband Seila (I sketched their wedding a few years ago) in their brand-new home. I was hoping to sketch the house on location, but we didn’t allow enough time, and the lighting on the front of the house on that overcast day wasn’t ideal anyway, so I took a photo instead. After I returned home, I sketched the house from the photo as a housewarming gift.
