From a water-colour by Wilfrid Ball, R.E. An English country cottage in Spring or perhaps late Summer. There’s something particularly charming about thatched english cottages. The village of Long Wittenham does not seem to be mentioned in tbe book, and the chapter is mainly about stone rather than brick construction. Long Wittenham has been inhabited since early Saxon times, with remains dating back to A.D. 500. I also made a widescreen wallpaper> version of this painting by distorting it very slightly and adding texture at the edges. |
