For those curious, here is an older sketch I did of the front of our small apartment building, the same porch seen in the previous post from a different angle.
There are several similar buildings in this town, built in 1920 when housing was at a premium due to a huge oil field being found here in 1915.
That is such a welcome home...SO inviting.
ReplyDeleteI wish it looked this way still. Do to so many thefts and struggles with wind & drought, I no longer attempt to grow these herbs in pots.
ReplyDeleteLove the line work, Vicky! The shadows give depth. Did you work from a photo? A drawing with that detail would take a long long time to lay out and render.
ReplyDeleteI drew this in 2007 -- too long to remember the details, I'm afraid. But I probably drew it from a photo, working in pencil before switching to ink.
