Drawing the House with the Blue Door

March 8, 2018 ~ thehousewiththebluedoor ~ Leave a comment

We've only had this historic little chalet for nearly three years, but I can't imagine spring and summer without being able to sit on the suntrap decking while listening to the tide come in, or watching the swallows overhead. It's only six miles from our home, but when we go to the Humberston Fitties our … Continue reading Drawing the House with the Blue Door

Job interviews and happy places

I got the idea of an overarching branch from an Erte illustration I came across in an Art Deco book, and the rest was organic and painted as I went … Continue reading Painted garden journal
