I sure am seeing a lot of green clothing around today. Green has never been my favorite color but I have been to Ireland and seen the unbelievable green hillsides - and been in the rain that makes all those hillsides so lush and green.
For St. Patrick's Day, instead of green, I'll share a white-washed cottage in the Irish hillsides. Painted on rice paper and then glued to watercolor paper. This was done a few year's ago. I think it would be pretty to have green in the foreground and around the cottage against that violet (got a bit carried away with the violet and you know you can't lift that out of rice paper!).
The photo was shared on a Yahoo group and several of us painted this - but I can't remember whose photo it was.

Happy St Patrick's day to you too Rhonda, what a beautiful cottage you have captured the atmosphere of the place perfectly.
Erin Go Blagh - or however it is spelled! I love this painting - it is very Irish! It touches a chord inside me - I am truly Irish - at least 1/2! ;)
You did a good job on it.
Happy St Patty's day. I've never painted on Rice paper and I think you did a nice painting of the cottage.
I don't think there is any need for anything green around your lovely cottage, it is standing out beautifully all by itself. Great colors.
Thanks, Caroline and Barb. It's "Erin go bragh" I think - I've got Irish in me, too).
Thanks, Linda and Jane. It was a beautiful sunny, warm St. Patrick's Day. Not green around here yet but there's hope! Today, a bit more rain to come...
Hope your St Patrick's day was happy Rhonda. I love your little cottage and don't mind there not being any green in it... what you did, was capture a wonderful atmospheric scene.ce
Nicely done! I love the rice paper.
Thanks, Debbie, and Leslie. Glad you like the little cottage - it was fun to add the texture by just painting it on rice paper :)
This is delightful. I saw it yesterday but couldn't comment.
