Isn’t that the truth!

I painted this from a photo by Lin (Old Rock Chick) at WetCanvas. It’s a cottage that Lin just had to stop and take a photo of to share with her WetCanvas friends. The pretty, seaside town of Saundersfoot, is one of Pembrokeshire’s finest holiday resorts, in the United Kingdom, where Lin lives.
I did have to explain to my dear hubby that there are no brown roofs in Betheville and we will never run out of pink paint.

He was born in St. Louis in 1882. He coined the phrase “cold war” as a speechwriter for statesman Bernard Baruch. In his leisure time, he was a brilliant gambler at the track, at cards, and at stocks, and threw lavish parties. He died in 1958.
