In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cosy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location. However there are cottage-style dwellings in cities, and in places such as Canada the term exists with no connotations of size at all In the United Kingdom the term cottage also tends to denote rural dwellings of traditional build, although it can also be applied to dwellings of modern construction which are designed to resemble traditional ones
In certain places the term "cottage" can refer to a vacation/summer home, often located near a body of water. However, in the USA generally this is more commonly called a "cabin", "chalet", or even "camp". Charming cottages are depicted in many paintings
"Marianne's Winter Hideaway" was inspired by the warmth of a cozy stone house with lots of animals and birds enjoying a beautiful winter's day. My aunt Marianne had a small little farm somewhat like this. She filled it with all kinds of animals, and she had a special bond and name for each one. I named the painting after her as a tribute to her life and memory.
