Since I have recently begun to sketch again, I pulled out a few sketches from the past.
This is the house my late hubby and I built in 1975. We lived there until 1987 and moved to FL.
The woods you see are behind and around the house and the garden, unseen, is to the right.
The children had 2 dogs - dogs and doghouses are to the left in the picture.
It was a beautiful house, made to look old, on a 1 acre of ground.
The old Hickory tree, struck by lightening, smelled wonderful in the fireplace in winter.
I pencil sketched the house from a picture and my memories.
Please join in looking at other artists creativity on Paint Party Friday.
Blessings,
Janet
