Cut Out-Mrs. Anderson’s House.
First venture into more of landscape piece. Oooofff, I have a lot to learn.
Backstory to why I created this-In August, my neighbor Mrs. Anderson passed away. She was 94, still living in her house until just days before she died. I have known her ever since my family moved into our house-a good 19 years. She didn’t have a funeral on her request but her family made this really cool magazine thing for the whole neighborhood about her life and who she was. It was awesome, she was awesome. And I’m going to miss her.
I truly believe her house so much reflected who she was-it was almost like herself in house form. It a cute, quaint little white house tucked back amongst trees and maintained gardens. Unfortunately, the house will have to come down in the near future due to issues with the foundation of the house amongst other things. And although I understand, it still makes me sad to know the little white house and the wonderful woman who lived inside of it will no longer part of my neighborhood. We’re going to miss that I’m sure of it.
