This was one of those outings that was planned, then did not happen on time, and then happened unexpectedly on a different day. And it was such a good part of my week that I loved these two sketches for that only. However, I struggled a lot with the shapes of the house and lack of focus on the page. I was overwhelmed by the abundance of shapes and colors, and let go of all the thinking and only moved paint on the page until it was time to run to the next thing in my day. Gouache is a perfect medium for this way of working I think - there is much layering on this page with paint, pencils, crayons - and it allowed me to create all the iterations.
