Settled on a Petal in a Quiet Part of the Yard

I've been spending the last few days decorating and setting up the art cottage.  It's a 10 x 10 kit shed.  My husband built it, added insulation, paneling, and carpet.  I put up curtains on three of the four walls to add color and texture plus it softened up the small space.  The girls and I found second hand a wicker settee for seating that they can enjoy and a kitchen island that will work well as an art desk.  We picked up a small shelf and a few art pieces for the walls at the local department store.  All that is left now is finding a shallow storage cabinet to safely store supplies in.  I've already begun using the space to create.  This is a watercolor lily and butterfly that I drew and really enjoyed painting.

I love the idea of an art cottage. I've thought about getting one of those sheds, but I'm not sure if I want to be away from the rest of the family like that. But then again, what am I saying?? :) Your lily is so transparent and beautiful.

Beautiful painting, I just love butterflies! I just turned my spare bedroom into an art studio and love having all of my supplies in one spot with space to create! You'll have to post pics of your new studio.
