Red-roofed Norwegian cottage sitting on a backdrop of turquoise water and mountains, with a field of hay in the front.

"Norwegian Cottage" original watercolor by Ashley Stuart

Coming up on a year of running my online art shop and I'm still in awe when someone buys my work. The surprise and excitement hits me like a ton of bricks every single time. Every piece has a story behind it, so when someone else appreciates the piece as well, oh gosh, it makes my day.

The piece pictured is the latest to sell. It was made before the sun rose. Hot coffee in front of me, tempting my paint brush to rinse itself as usual. I have an affinity for cottages and love the Scandinavian color palette (bright and muted in just the right places). Birdsong was playing from my iTunes and only two small lamps lit. Inspired by some photos as we traveled Norway in... well, it seems like another lifetime now. During the creation, my block-out ripped the paper. Although gutted, I tried fixing the piece with a 3-dimensional effect making the cottage removable. The result is wonderful. More to come!

This piece will continue its story in a new space and my heart is full.

In addition to my paintings and collections, my watercolors can be found on fabrics, where you can make what you'd like, or homewares, decor, and wallpaper. I'll be updating this shop frequently and will release new patterns within The Collector community.
