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 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.
Jessie Edwards is an artist living on Block Island. She owns and runs the Jessie Edwards Studio, a gallery which opened 26 years ago and specializes in regional fine art. During the off season she spends her time painting, drawing and catching up with aspects of her life which she has put aside during the hectic summer season. She plans to use this blog as a tool to encourage more self discipline and creativity by posting new work in it's various states of completion and as finished drawings and paintings for sale or just plain viewing.
