Cottage

(Pen and brown ink with brush and brown, blue, red and yellow wash, over black and red chalk)

This drawing is from the early 17th century by Abraham Bloemaert.  This very rustic cottage has a sweet softness to it. Artists have an amazing talent... When we can see and feel the gentleness of an inanimate object that is truly incredible.

Art is more than a perfect picture... It is more about our response to the things around us. 

​Have you ever seen a piece of art that you just loved?
​When I saw this picture I wanted to visit... and I love the gentleness of the cottage. This happens when I look through collections of art ... There is always one piece I love. The Peasants Cottage is my favorite from today's research. Tomorrow I will find one more that I love too.❤️
