Two story gables of Library/Masterbedroom and Dining Room/Boys' Blue Room punctuate west facade, with double gables visible at distant facade. Greenery [vines and/or wisteria] growth extends up facade to roofline all along facade. Tree with bright yellow foliage at distant background. Painting is not signed or dated, leading one to believe that artist had not considered it a finished work.
