This painting has a story book illustration quality to it.  The charming cottage was inspired by an actual structure near where I live, and it seemed to call out to me to draw it.  The rest of the composition grew from there, as if the story was being revealed to me as I drew.  It reflects a bit of my own lifestyle, no doubt.  But painting is a visual journal of the artist, especially this artist.

I love the opportunity to use vibrant colors, fantasy and stylization in a piece, all of which are integrated in this painting.
