THE MAGIC COTTAGE

~ MOON LAKE ~ TRANSMOGRIFIED ~ 3 TIMES A CHARM

And now known as……..




~ THE MAGIC COTTAGE  ~ 




So I decided adding the cottage to Moon Lake would be a nice touch to it's landscape . 
I added some violet colour to the water and sky , lightened the background trees and also added some yellow to the moons. I think this is it.

After the painting was done I discovered the cottage would  disappear into the woods depending from the distance, angle and time of day I viewed it. I adore when paintings keep a little trickery within their panorama and when you least expect it , there it is. 
It kind of reminds me of the cottage in James Herbert's book "The Magic Cottage": ) ~ 3 Times the Charm


Thanks Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday


Until Later,
Annabelle

Hi Annabelle. Wow, I truly love this. I can almost envision myself in that cottage, yet a little afraid of what is lurking outside but happily waiting for the sun to rise so I can jump in the lake and get some exercise. It's beautiful and magical. I love it! Have a wonderful day and happy PPP.

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
