My wife and I took a trip with our parents to Britain to visit the towns our ancestors were from. We traveled all over England, through Wales, and into Scotland. A very important village to my wife’s family is Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire in England where her Berrett ancestors resided. We were given a tour of the town by a distant relative who still lives there. This painting is the home of Robert Berrett, her great-great- great grandfather’s brother. It still has a thatched roof. I thought it was so charming I had to paint it.

Beautiful job on the Berrett home. I love the country charm you achieved on this painting.
Beautiful painting! Such great memories of being in Steeple Ashton and actually seeing ancestors’ homes. You have done a great job of capturing that choice experience.
I love the feel of this painting. It is beautiful.
How beautiful! This makes me want to escape into the English countryside right now!!
I would love to go see that.
This is a gorgeous painting.
