My Favorite Window So Far


Millwork and God's Handiwork, ink and watercolor wash, 4/29/09

When I was at Snow Farm we had a free afternoon on Wednesday. Some people used the time to go to Northampton or do shopping, but I went back to the studio and made this drawing in my watercolor sketchbook. The studios at Snow Farm are converted farm buildings and the building I was in was a barn at some point. I sat on a little stool looking out of one of the windows and this is what I saw. I think Wednesday was my favorite day because I captured a perfect memory and later I got a massage (always nice).

I scanned and printed a copy of this for the auction on Friday. They put it up for bid last and I thought that no one would bid on it because they all spent their money already. My teacher ended up buying it as a souvenir and I thought that was really nice.
