There’s something magical about Thomas Hardy’s Cottage in Dorset — a timeless thatched home surrounded by spring blossom, rich in history and literary heritage. That was my inspiration for ‘Blooming at Hardy’s’!
The gentle pinks and greens, paired with the soft texture of the thatched roof, made me want to capture how it felt to stand there among the flowers, with a sense of both nostalgia and hope. That joy is what I’ve brought to this new fine art print, made from my original painting and printed on archival-quality smooth matt poster paper to preserve all the delicate colours.
Available in a wide range of sizes, this print is perfect for brightening a reading corner, creating a sense of welcome in a hallway, or bringing a calming floral touch to a bedroom or living area. And if you’re looking for a meaningful gift, ‘Blooming at Hardy’s’ would be a wonderful idea for garden lovers, book fans, or anyone with a soft spot for the English countryside.
My hope is that each time you look at it, you’ll feel the same sense of gentle calm and joyful colour I did while painting it. It’s a reminder of nature, beauty, and the stories that connect us to a place.
