Creative Tuesdays - I want to go to

The Cotwolds in England!  This piece for Creative Tuesdays is done in my art journal with watercolour pencils (7"h x 5"w).  I was inspired by a photo of the Cotswolds (on my bucket list) in England that I saw in the newspaper. It is somewhat simplified, well a lot simplified. Can't wait to see where the others went with this fun theme!

The plants are vibrant, and the house would be fun to life in were I a cartoon ^_^ I have never been to the Cotswolds but I love England and it would be great to one day go! You have created a great advertisement for this city you'd love to see; lovely work
