Cali – Re – they are so full of magic and charm – they are almost fairy tale like without the cliche – never seen better cottages by anyone else – Your comments certainly inspire me to paint more cottages – Appreciated !

dorrart – I think we all have a ‘style’ to some degree – Perhaps the more we paint the more it develops – Thankyou for your comments.

John [Reddyman] – There is a little ‘lean oil’ mixed into those brushstrokes in an attempt to get more ‘fluidity’ happening. Hope it worked – Much Appreciated !

Thanks Wes – I use the garden bushes to ‘break the lines’ of the cottages – A composition strategy which, hopefully, directs attention to other, designated areas of interest – Much Appreciated !

Thanks Gary – I usually like to ‘connect the dark values’ in an attempt to carry the eye along – Appreciated !

Arnie – Re – I notice a change in your style with these – brisker , more open, less finished. – My intentions exactly – Thanks Arnie !

Artmarkie – Re – I like the middle one best – My wife’s favorite also – Many Thanks.
