'Blooming At Hardy's' Thomas Hardy Cottage Watercolour Wall Art - ‘Blooming at Hardy’s’ was inspired by one of my favourite places in Dorset — the beautiful and evocative Thomas Hardy Cottage, tucked away among wildflowers and greenery. I painted the original on a glorious spring day, surrounded by birdsong and the joyful riot of colour blooming around the thatched cottage walls. The combination of literary history and nature’s abundance truly set my imagination alight, and this piece is my way of sharing that moment with you.
This print captures a scene where Hardy might once have paused to write, surrounded by the same bursts of blossom and the gentle Dorset light. Working in my expressive, loose style, I aimed to celebrate not just the building itself, but the sense of peace and renewal you feel wandering through this landscape.
Printed on luxurious Fine Art Archival Smooth Matt Poster Paper (230gsm), this print offers vivid detail and a soft, natural texture. You can choose from a wide range of sizes, from A5 to a statement-making 50x70cm, making it easy to suit any space.
This versatile floral cottage print would look wonderful in a cosy country kitchen, brightening up the breakfast table with its warm blooms. It would also be perfect in a reading nook, library, or study — the literary connection to Hardy makes it a wonderful conversation piece for book lovers. Or hang it in a hallway to greet you each day with a moment of gentle floral calm.
If you’d like to give ‘Blooming at Hardy’s’ as a gift, it would be a beautiful choice for anyone who loves nature, English literature, or the timeless charm of the Dorset countryside. Perhaps a thoughtful housewarming gift, to bring a peaceful, joyful energy into a new home, or a special birthday treat for a friend who loves their garden. It would also be a meaningful retirement gift, offering a taste of calm and beauty for someone beginning a new chapter in life.
For me, art is about capturing a feeling — and this piece is all about the feeling of walking through history, wrapped in flowers and fresh air. Even if you have never visited Hardy’s Cottage, I hope this print can transport you there, letting you share in that same uplifting sense of place.
Whether displayed as a standalone artwork or paired with other countryside or Dorset inspired prints, ‘Blooming at Hardy’s’ will bring a fresh, blooming energy to your home. Each print is produced with care to ensure the colours and details shine, giving you a piece you can treasure for years to come.
