» Cedar Nook Cottage

If this seems to be the kind of cottage that Hansel and Gretel might have visited, you might not be too far off. Apart from changing the national origin and a few architectural details, this may well pass as a "gingerbread cottage." One of my great joys as an artist is recreating, for others to enjoy, the innocent daydreams we all seem to cherish. One of the greatest compliments I can receive from a collector is, "I wish I could live there." If you have ever daydreamed of living in a quaint cottage hidden within a fragrant cedar forest, this painting was created for you!
