This is about the REAL artist’s cottage! Not just a cute blog site name…
Meet my grandparents, Ron and Willow King (neè Willow Legge- her artist name). Situated in the beautiful British countryside, they are still going strong with the thing that their lives are built around. Art.
They both paint and sculpt, my Grandpa mostly with wood and my Grandma with clay. Their mini mansion is full of their sketches, paintings, sculptures and many other little artistic things they’ve built up over the years.
My grandpa once dined with the queen as a featured artist back in his younger days and my grandma worked at Madame Tussauds for many years until retirement, meeting hundreds of famous people whose wax figures stand in one of the most iconic places to visit in London. – Yes, I am boasting on my grandparents I’m so proud to be their granddaughter!! (And their house is gorgeous, just sayin’.)
Check out some of their work on their own pages:

Here are some pics from around their place and some of their work, yes, all sculptures and paintings photographed are by them!
P.S Isn’t the British countryside so beautiful??
