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.
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.
