| Joan Horsfall Young, Cottage, Oil, 8 x 10" |
Canadian born artist Joan Horsfall Young has been blessed with the opportunity to return to her child-hood cottage each summer. Built by her grandfather, and then owned by her mother, she now presides as her children and grandchildren enjoy many of the same childhood experiences. The cottages in this small community are as diverse as the people that occupy them, sharing a common reality of collective dreams and inherited traditions.

These noble cottages are rustic, ornamental, grand, and/or humble. The cottages, homely in nature, have screened porches, draughty rooms, latticed doors, leaks, and bats. Some overflow with children and bikes. They become cozy when we shelter from the howling winds of a thunderstorm. Most are old and lived in and are surrounded by the beauties of nature with woods teamed by wildlife. Some have weeds, choked gutters and spiders. All are loved.
