A painting a week. Week 43

“Pink cottage at Little Durnford”

After a very long week at work, a fun weekend with our friends in Salisbury.

Party on Saturday and a long walk through the lovely countryside of Wiltshire. From Old Sarum, along a bridleway to Middle Woodford and then on a lane to Little Durnford, where we visited the Little Durnford Manor Garden, a lovely little farm with lamas, alpacas, camels and other creatures.

On the way towards the garden, I stumbled upon this pink coloured thatched cottage, which inspired my little painting of the week.

I took a few photos and I completed the painting in the studio, using the reference images. I painted it alla prima.
