The old shingled cottage was graced by slightly spent Blue Hydrangeas and from it’s back door was a glorious view of the Pacific Ocean. Just the kind of scene I love to paint, so I’m sure I’ll find myself painting it again and again. Below is one of the photos I took that day of the scene and the inspiriation for the original watercolor painting. Visit Blog to read more about my travels looking for beautiful places to paint.
