French Country Cottage

 

 

​The inspiration for this painting

came from a cottage in Monet's garden.

 I simplified the structure but kept the little stone wall 

and creek in the foreground; as well as the early fall colors.

 Kept the painting process simple also ...

 laying down the paint and leaving it (most of the time)

 in homage to Monet's impressionistic style.

Cottage Garden

Here in Anacortes, WA, there are many vintage seaside cottages
which have gardens, with a profusion of colorful flowers,
especially these tall lovely Hollyhocks.
