About this work

This watercolour painting shows a cottage on a hill, surrounded by trees and bushes. The cottage is white with a brown roof, and there's a path leading up to it. The sky is light blue with some clouds. The painting has a soft, dreamy quality to it, with gentle brushstrokes and muted colours. It's a peaceful scene that evokes a sense of calm.
