Across the Street 4x6 oil

My computer sits in a room with a window that faces out to the front of my house.  Sometimes I feel like I am in another world just watching the comings and goings of neighborhood life.  It is very tranquil to be the observer.  I see the light change and the wind blow and people out walking.  
Directly across from my window is a pink stucco house that is the background of all the comings and goings I see out my window.  So I had paint left on my palette and attempted to paint it.  I think i really wanted to just play with the paint before cleaning up.   I had fun laying in thick paint.
The neighbor that lives in this house is in her 70's and lives alone.  She is extremely active in the community and recently wrote a historical book on the history of Villa Park.  I admire her for all she does.
