This was the first painting in the Cottage by the Sea Collection. Though this cottage only existed in Thom's imagination, he liked to believe that an older retired sea captain lived here. Notice his ship's bell is hung on the lamp post. Thom painted this image at sunset.

"Though this cottage doesn't exist anywhere but in my painting, I think for many of us it represents an ideal seaside getaway. When the tide is out, you could wander amongst the rocks searching for the perfect seashell for your collection, while the lonely call of seagulls echoes overhead. Of course, I had to paint the scene at sunset. After all, what would a seaside cottage be without a beautiful sunset to watch?"
