The cottages around here were once like this, modest scale, 1 1/2 stories, w a wrap around porch. Usually built from whatever salvage lumber the builders could get their hands on. I lived in one once on  Higgins beach that had walls built from shoe crates used to ship shoes made in Lewiston factories and for train transport. This one always appeals to me because of it's warm colors.

It seems like a lot of my work ends up kind of flat, mostly horizontal and vertical lines, and right angles. Maybe I'll try to work on a painting with curves and diagonals?
