Ellen Howard Fine Art

A solitary house stands shrouded in darkness, its silhouette outlined against a stormy sky. A single window glows with warm light, hinting at life within. The surrounding trees are bare and twisted, adding to the sense of isolation and mystery. The path leading to the house is overgrown and deserted, suggesting that it is a place rarely visited. The overall tone is one of loneliness and unease, leaving the viewer to wonder what secrets the house holds.
