Description

Watercolor on paper by Walter Ashe depicting a row of housed in the town of St. Ives, Cornwall, England. The focal point is a stone building with a bright yellow bay window, adding a splash of color against the more muted facades. The street is lined with flowering plants adding vibrancy and life. Overhead, a few birds can be seen flying in the muted sky, enhancing the serene atmosphere of a quiet, residential area.
