We took a little walk today, felt like spring after weeks of gray and cold... stopped for coffee at Lucky Finn Cafe in Scituate Harbor. The lovely and spare building serves coffee drinks and light sandwiches with a sweet view of the harbor. The building used to house the Quarterdeck gift shop, which we frequented for its eclectic gifts, jewelry, photos and antiques. We stayed briefly today, but I did a quick sketch of a mom and her I'm-guessing 3-year old. The were enthralled with each other and enjoyed hot chocolate for a few minutes before continuing their walk.
This is my hundred tenth daily drawing, a little grayer than I intended, but a sweet visit nonetheless. As always, thanks for looking at my work. I am enjoying the time drawing each day.
Another drawing of the L.A. Burdick Chocolate Shop in Boston. It has interior mirrors which make for a very interesting juxtaposition of foreground, middle and background figures and images. We spent today indoors during the snow bombogenesis, a day off from school, fifteen inches of snow to shovel later in the day before tomorrow's deep freeze. Drawing images of the sweet smelling hot chocolate and shop was cathartic. Thank you for looking at my ninety-fourth daily drawing.
Last week we spent a few hours in Boston on a cold, breezy day. It was beautiful, crisp, not yet the single-digit cold that hurts your face. We finished our time with a stop ie L.A. Burdicks Chocolate Shop. I have walked by there many times, a little chalet-looking building off Newbury Street. It is much
bigger on the inside, with an interesting beamed ceiling with bright dormers.
I will make this a regular stop on chilly days in the city from now on. The inside is filled with mirrors. I loved the juxtaposition of the still-bundled shoppers in the bright, cheerful, fragrant interior.
