Very nice work.  The wood is great.

One question though - why the brown / cream roof? All the straw roof material I have seen is grey or black...

Not saying it looks wrong but just comparing it to the UK present day buildings.

Thanks...

The owner had the roof recently thatched!

It makes for a good contrast, basically...

Dry brushing is usually a cheap, cheerful and quick way to knock up a bit of scenery/building...  use it as a 'proper' painting technique and the results can be stunning.
