Houses, sunday sketches

houses, sketchbook project 2012
pen on paper

My second sketch for the sketchbook project 2012. We all have reasons for keeping things and my Mother has kept these 4-inch houses on the windowsill for years. I used black pen and colored pens. There are actually only 3 houses, so I used gimp to stitch my line drawing, the colored drawing and and inverted drawing altogether.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
And thank you to Sophia for her Sunday Sketches blog hop.

So sweet! You know what would be a cool print idea? Square up 9 house in rows and columns of three. Make the first house a drawing of a really, really old house, and morph each house next to it into a slightly more modern counterpart...so that when you get to the last house in the last row, it is a modern house. Cool way to analyze house architecture through the centuries!

Lovely and cheerful! I have to admit to having one of those houses in my kitchen too - a souvenir from someone's travels.

What a neat collection and a great addition to your sketchbook! I love your use of color in this piece. (I agree with Heather - it would make a great note card!)

I don't know why, but I always love drawings of little houses. These are so charming!
These are cute! I love them. Different for you, or at least what you usually show. I like it. :)

These houses are wonderful! Something delicious, uplifting and comforting about them. Truly little treasures.

These houses are adorable, Juana. I don't know what it is about houses but I always wonder who is living in them.

By the way the ladies in your right hand column are amazing too.

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
