Your perspective is just fine! Its one of the elements that makes your paintings and drawings so wonderful. Dont fix what isnt broken!
Is that a wire moose up on the roof? Or is it a reindeer left there by Santa Clause?
Your colors make it look like a cake with delicious sugary frosting. Its delightful. A very good combination of drawing and paint. And I like how you crowd the building into the page, making use of the entire surface. It gives it an intimate look because the building takes up the entire area of the page. It demands attention because it doesnt allow for any distractions.

not worry too much about it in my sketches. And yes, its a moose. How cool is that?
