This summer cottage is located directly across the road from the ocean. The water you see in back of the house is a salt water tidal pond, You can often see clammers as well as an oyster farm from the back yard
and a variety of shorebirds of all kinds.

This home sits at the top of a long hill headed
to Settlers Rock. Since I was a young girl
I have always loved the way it is sited ~
the lines of the cottage and it's outbuildings.

This drawing was a commission as a wedding gift.
My last posted drawing was the opposite as far as
detail and was loose and spontaneous. As for this
one..very tedious and detailed (but done).

This beautiful old island
Farmhouse is located near Pilot Hill
on Block Island. The foggy day was
accentuated by the bare colors of winter
turning to spring.

This latest drawing is of a cottage
on High Street. There were three
ducks that had wandered from their
farm home up the road. They found
something to their liking in this yard
and kept a concentration even though
I was close by taking pictures. I can
see bits of green making it's way...Spring
isn't too far off!

Somehow, we have avoided this latest snow and so
as of today, there is very little snow on the ground
here on Block Island but I worked on this drawing
using a photo taken in the last snowstorm. I know
spring can't be too far off but I thought I would do
one more wintry sketch. This home sits on Corn
Neck Road with the ocean view out the back windows!

During winter months, sightings of whales spouting and seals
basking in the sun are common from this cottage located on the
Southeast side of Block Island.

This nicely proportioned home sits near the entrance
of one of the greenway trails on Block Island. I pass
it each time I take the trail which opens out at Fresh Pond.
It is decked out for Christmas.

This 8 x 10 painting of the Sullivan House was a long drawn out (by my own doing) commissioned work.
It will be a wedding gift for a couple who had their reception at this incredible spot.
