Just off the corner on Old Town Road, Block Island sits this old island home. In summer it has quite a bit of privacy from the thick hedge and shrubs but is almost naked and exposed in mid-winter.
This old island farmhouse with additions and modernizing sits off Old Mill Road. It was a commissioned drawing for the owner and I had to include the faithful dog...I said I don't "do" dogs but I guess I did! I also hand colored the original but forgot to make a record of it with watercolor.
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.
