The Fisherman's cottage by David Stevens

A well constructed composition David always enjoy your African scenes

Interesting building. Is that chimney on the left a smokehouse…would a South African fisherman ‘smoke’ his catch? Like the painting.

Like this a lot !!

Thank you Chris, Lew and Valerie for your kind remarks. Yes it is a smokehouse, Lew - the fishermen in that area catch "snake mackerel" and smoke them and they are called locally, " snoek" !!

Lovely

Gorgeous washes on the sky, David. I really love your washing line too!

I like it David.

Thank you Romila, David and Jennifer.

Lovely work David. Smoke creates interest and make one think.

Thanks for the info David.

Good one David.

Really good and interesting to learn the facts about this too

Thank you Magdalena, Stephen and Heather for your kind comments!

Love the rustic feel to this and the domesticity of the washing line David. Great little, atmospheric painting.

Thank you Carole!
