wildly romantic
January 15, 2009 | Filed Under paintings in progress, wanderings | by Sarah Blank | 12 CommentsA snippet of a painting in progress that is slowly being born from my sketch in Monday’s post.
And from yesterday’s photo of the tree-adorned hallway is the outside of the cottage, photo taken from an insanely quaint curved bridge made of fieldstone…
A victorian riverside cottage that was redone in the 1930’s (two amazing aesthetic eras in my opinion!)
that we were lucky enough to step foot in! Crazy beautiful!
Ooooh. Have you seen Gosford Park? It’s another example of the stunning lushness of the 1930’s (at least, for the aristocratic class; although the wonderful thing about that movie is that you find yourself luxuriating in little aesthetic details in the servants’ scenes as well).
hmmm I dont think I have! I’ll have to watch it!
So beautiful, no doubt this will be a most powerful painting. What skill you have!
And I have no doubt that you will have a beautiful, winsome and utterly gorgeous daughter some day! What a fun mommy you will be
Thank you Heather. The painting is almost done, I am very happy!
Gorgeous portrait Sarah! reminds me a bit of you…

She is beautiful! She has the face of a Bronte heroine.
I am also enchanted by the lonely cottage. It wakens the imagination, both the inside and outside. Lovely.
Thank you sarah!
I am sure the cottage will find someone eventually, I hope.
