I found the gazebo quite difficult to sketch because of the odd angles, but it is a pretty little structure. The Victorian house in the background is the Slocum House and sits in one corner of the park. My husband and I have enjoyed community theater productions here on several occasions. The parlor is used as the foyer, and the dining room has been enlarged to accommodate a low stage and seating for about fifty. When the audience sits so close to a performance, it makes it a more personal experience for everyone.
Great sketches full of light! I love your tower with all the bells!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Martine - the bell tower is charming! I can see why the gazebo would be difficult, but you nailed it. nancy
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a time that I am not amazed by your drawings Janene. I love your use of colors, your perspective, and all around how you compose them in your pages. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow, Martine, Nanke and Alex--what nice things to say! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe bell tower looks complicated too, but you pulled off both sketches. I'd love to hear those bells ring!
ReplyDeleteLovely sketches - I do like the bell tower - I also like the way you've handled the foliage throughout - it has a lot of variety, without getting hung up in details.
ReplyDeleteLovely architecture and greenery - both difficult subjects . But you have captured a beautiful scene
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy, curiouscrow and Alissa--I appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for capturing architectural detail in your sketches. Love both of them!
