Comments: It's got beautiful earthy, warm colours and interesting composition. There's lovely textures and opaque layers and i think it creates a cosy atmostphere.

Comment: I think you can tell the settler is an inside sort of person, tries their best and takes pride in their work but isn't too bothered on cleanliness. I only think that they feel very strongly too cooking but someetimes can't be stuffed to cook for a family unless the person cooking is a maid/servant.
