"Cottage by The Oar Restaurant"
The Oar is a popular restaurant on Block Island and this small cottage is where the (lucky) manager and his new wife live. This was a commissioned drawing for the newlyweds and even though it's the middle of winter here it depicts a glorious summer day complete with blooming sunflowers and the buoys on the fence.
"Light Dusting"
This is a house right off the main road but it has privacy even in Winter with the brush and the stone wall . The colors of this day were simply beautiful as I love a gray day!!
