This is the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire, drawn for a thank you card for someone after the wedding was held at the venue last month....

This house is located on the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Ocean Avenue. The forsythia was incredibly brilliant in the afternoon sunshine on the early April day. After several days of rain the grass is greener by the minute.

Spring is here with tiny buds on an apple tree while in the foreground daffodils are opening. This house is perched above High Street and the drawing was completed for the Block Island Times column: "Guess This House".

This wonderful building is located on Ocean Avenue on Block Island. The gingerbread detail is hard to convey in such a small drawing. The pale yellow of the building is a gentle color in winter and a great backdrop in summer when the roses are blooming too.

I love small cottages and love drawing them. This commissioned drawing was just completed and I used photos where most of the area around the house was covered in snow. I imagined how it will look in late spring which doesn't seem to far away now.

This house was recently restored and sits at an important and very visible corner on Block Island, across the street from the Block Island Historical Society.

This home overlooks the ocean on the Southeast side of Block Island. I
have been walking by it for years and decided to sketch it for the Block
Island Times "Guess This House" drawing which appears every couple
weeks in the local newspaper.

This little drawing shows just how beautiful the landscape is here on Block Island in winter...

This drawing was done for a wedding invitation ~ First, I did it in black and white but then thought perhaps a little water color would jazz it up...not sure which way I prefer it but I will leave it up to the bride and groom to decide!

“My values about what is important in life were shaped right here on Mitchell Farm in view of the sea and these green pastures. I want future generations to see this place as I have and be nurtured by it.”– Adrian Mitchell

This pen and ink drawing of Mitchell Farm was recently completed from photographs taken in early summer.

This small cottage off High Street, Block Island was drawn recently from photos
taken in early summer.
It was a little surprise tucked away and had such a lovely backyard ~ so private
and hidden.

This pen and ink with watercolor was a commissioned drawing
and presented to the "new" owners of the Beachead Restaurant
on Block Island. It is a favorite haunt for many islanders and
open almost year round.

This was a drawing that was used to announce the birth of baby Rowan! The two sisters were excited about the new baby brother who was "arriving" around Christmas time and while climbing trees in the yard I got inspired to do this little drawing for the family.
