Seaside Cottage - sold

5"x7" oil on gessoed masonite

This house is the next block over from me & sits right on the water! It's typical of our area of New England, weathered cedar shingle siding & white trim & railings. It has these incredible views across the Long Island Sound - I love to see the sailboats out there when I'm taking my morning walk. The forsythias have been beautiful this spring - and are the first real dose of color we get...along with the grass greening up. Spring is when our senses come alive again with the colors, the smells- ocean & salt air & growing things, along with the sounds of water lapping at the shore. We begin to slow down & savor life again.
