Today's completed commissioned drawing is of "The Plains" with it's expansive view of field and ocean it is breathtaking. The clouds are incredible this time of year on Block Island.

This bit of property has just recently been sold and the new owners have begun clearing
which lets the viewer catch a glimpse of a pond beyond a newly exposed stone wall.

This house is on a windy road off Beacon Hill Road on Block Island. It was a commissioned gift for the family that built it and resides there as a Christmas surprise from a friend. I meant to post it several weeks ago but it got lost in the holiday shuffle so here it is now.

The shadows are amazing right now here on Block Island. They are long and cold as is the temperature. The sky is such an intense blue too. This small cottage has recently had a lot of work to preserve it and I have always loved it as I bicycle or drive by it on Corn Neck Road.

This home sits up high on Amy Dodge Lane, Block Island.
It was a commissioned Christmas surprise from a wife to
her husband...shhhhhhh it's a surprise and I had to work
on it in stealth!

All dressed up for Christmas, this little cottage sits on Beach Avenue, Block Island~
a few minutes walking distance from the beach.

This is a rather new but not huge scale home on Block Island off High Street.
It is hidden from the main road by an ancient privet hedge.

Wild Turkeys are clustered at the foot of this property....the Tom has about eight or nine hens and no visible competition that I could see.

This is a commissioned drawing of a cottage not far out of the town but still tucked away and quiet. The owners are unable to get to Block Island as often as they'd like and so the husband is surprising his wife with a drawing of their home.

This small cottage sits beneath a majestic Horse Chestnut tree on West Side Road, Block Island.

Just in time for HALLOWEEN...this home is all decked out on Old Town Road, Block Island. If I had trick or treaters to make the rounds, this would surely be a high light!

This house sits overlooking a
salt marsh and regular visitors
include herons, egrets and other
shorebirds searching for their
meal.

This little cottage is on the mainland and was a commissioned drawing
as a first anniversary gift from husband to wife. They have a beautiful little home and beginning of a new life together with baby on the way!

Having been stuck inside most of these last few beautiful days, I drew this cottage on Mohegan Trail perched on a a site that looks out at the ocean from a photo taken mid winter! I added the bushes and greened up the lawn.....probably not very accurate..Oh well.

This pen and ink drawing of the Southeast Lighthouse is a commissioned piece and a gift for a bride and groom. It has taken me a while to get to it but the summer season has begun and I have finally crossed it off my "to do" list!
