This is a house commission from my home town of Tonbridge. It is an interesting building with plenty of little architectural details  on it that I love.  This was  a difficult one to master as the sun was never directly on the face of the building, so I had to use some artistic licence to give it some nice light and also some shade without it being too dark and obscuring all the nice detail in the brickwork. I especially like the red rose, lit up on the corner of the house against the darker shadow.  The owner had just acquired the red Maserati, so I put this in on the drive and that made it almost the first requested car to get into one of my pictures.
