The muted colors help set the scene, and the half open door is a nice touch.

We painted around Camden, ME for a week.
I love your watercolor sketch. It is a nice capture of a moment in time, beats taking a picture. After three hours on location, it's etched in your mind unlike a Pic quickly taken.

I think watercolor ( or oils as in my case) plein airs are a great way to document a trip.
