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.
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.
