A window in a sheet of white paper reveals a red paper building with white windowsills set amongst a green and orange field bordered by green shrubs and trees. Fluffy clouds float by in a light blue sky. Some pink and flowers on delicate green stems are layered outside the white paper window.

The artwork is framed in a light wood frame against light blue and sand-colored fabrics. Strong sunlight gives the artwork a feeling of late spring.

I.

On beautiful spring days, I dream about living in a cottage by the ocean. The sky is blue, flowers are dancing in the sun, and the land is alive with the scent of wildflowers.

Inspired by a trip to Filoli in Woodside, California.
