Johnson illustration, Bermuda (watercolor)

Watercolor adds warmth and depth to this Bermudian house. The view is from the back on the house and the repetition of horizontal lines juxtaposes with the natural environment. Here the palm fronds are sunlit and shaded, foliage grows over the border, fronds frame the bottom right corner, and the mixture of sandy grass gives a sense of Florida’s unique horticulture. The overall effect is a house immersed in nature.
