There is a lovely
home down the street from us, with these two rockers on the side porch. One rocker is much more simple design than the other. One is carved oak. The other is more of a classic country porch rocker. The two rockers were sitting side by side, with their fronts reaching out to the sun, and I did a drawing of them. They are very inviting, a sweet conversation nook on the porch.
This is my hundred twenty-first daily drawing. Thank you for continuing to follow my drawing adventure.
Today's sketch - the view out the front of the Island Inn on Monhegan Island. I don't eat there each time we visit, though the food is wonderful. But, every summer, the elegant dining room displays a beautiful show of a local artist or artists' work and I make a point of visiting. The work is always captivating, and worth the visit. It must be, else how could you tear your eyes away from the inside/outside contrast going on along the entire west wall of the dining room? I love the porch rockers with visitors reading, thinking, resting, being... above the active harbor. Maybe that's why I don't eat there very often, as with the empty chairs in this sketch, I can't bear to be inside that long away from Monhegan's light and air...
Again, thanks for looking, and I love your comments.
