Jersey Cottage - Watercolor

This month's location for the Virtual Paintout is Jersey.  When I first read the post, I thought Bill was just being cool and referring to New Jersey as "Jersey".  I hate to admit my geographical ignorance but I'd never heard of the island of Jersey.  I DO know that New Jersey is NOT an island so I was eager to see where Jersey is located.  It is close to the French coast and is one of the Channel Islands.  It's a very beautiful, charming island and I hope to do one or two more paintings to submit to this month's challenge  before July is over.

    Nice, peaceful scene Nancy! I like your lack of detail in the foliage and flowers.

    Very nice find in Google. Love the flower boxes on the windows. Isn't the jersey Island just wonderful to visit?

    Fresh and beautiful! Oh to have flowers at the windows. I've always loved window boxes and I've never had the money and energy to have some myself! One day, I hope.

    Thanks Carrie. Participating in the virtual paintout challenges has been very enlightening and it's fun to 'travel' in each country. I hate to admit that this isn't the first location that I didn't know existed.

    Thanks Kimberly, I'm glad I'm not the only geographically challenged person. Of course, I should have guessed that there was someplace around England called Jersey since we have a "new" Jersey here.

    I lived on Jersey for some years and I can tell you that this is a very typical Jersey house.

    Wendy, I'm so jealous that you got to live on that beautiful island.
