Peek Hole on a Winter world

Since realism is my thing I really got excited about this challenge. While looking over the links for this site I happened to remember a picture I had drawn several years ago and surprisingly was able to grab the correct sketch book even. But I was surprised at just how many 'several years ago' was. Seems I drew it in 1980! Still worked... So I took a photo of the pencil drawing and then printed it onto an 8" x 10" piece of fabric. The 3 faces weren't as dramatic in black and white so I used colored pencils to give their skin and shirts some color. I didn't want to overdo since they were to be in the background. When quilting the piece I did very little on the faces themselves just outlining their features.
I found the perfect piece of fabric for the frosty window but had very little left so I fused it and began cutting pieces to fit the windows. Since frost seems to go every which way on a window anyhow this worked out perfectly. I'd thought maybe doing a log cabin but then felt the brown would make the piece too dark so opted for modern white siding. Next were the pine branches, and yes, all those pine needles were individually cut from left-over green fabrics from other projects. Then, since I love birds, I put a lovely little White-crowned Sparrow on a branch for the father and sons to look at. The shadows are all thread painted. It's 15 1/2" x 17". I think it met the criteria.

I've included a photo of the drawing I did originally for comparison.
