"Comfy Spot" on the Lodge's Sitting Room Mantle "Welcome Back" in the Tea Room I painted two new watercolors to hang in the beautiful and historic Hodge Podge Lodge Bed and Breakfast in Montgomery, TX.  Comfy Spot is a little capture of an inviting place to sit and enjoy the country air on the covered front porch. Welcome Back gives a peek at the back patio and garden shed from the rear entrance to the Lodge.
