If you choose to add anything, yes, maybe some slight darkening under the lilac for a shadow--but not so much that it detracts from your center of interest, the house. But I don't have much experience with watercolor so I don't know if even that slight adjustment would make it feel overworked. Right now, it's not overworked. Don't start over; it's gorgeous. What a great gift.
