Houses Everywhere.........

.............except in my watercolor sketch.

More and more natural (old Florida) landscape is being eaten up by construction of homes and businesses.  The Villages is one of the largest retirement communities in the USA........expanding across several counties in Florida.  They are made up of various themed communities depending on where they are located.   Just recently, our county has allowed The Villages to expand into Lake County with the newest one being developed is Fenney and I'm not sure what theme it's taking on just yet.

Our sketching group has been to a small section of Fenney that has been completed.  Near the recreation center is a small nature trail and a nice body of water.  I wasn't able to attend that outing but was given permission to sketch from a photo taken by one of the member's friends.

Thank you Ingrid Polz for granting me permission to use your photos for incentive and sketching material.

This is just a very small portion of a photo taken at Fenney.  Around the body of water are houses and I chose to leave them out.
