More artwork for another special friend

Well, I have been busy with my artwork lately and here are three more drawings I had been working on for a friend who lives near me. The first is her house now along with the photograph I took of it.
I took this photograph during winter, and it was a good thing I did, as the trees have filled in with their beautiful green leaves this spring to the point that the view of the house is somewhat obscured.
The second drawing is her house when she lived in Hilton Head, SC. It is a lovely home, very natural looking wood in a muted gray-blue color. This was one I had to sort of piece together from several different photographs, as there was not a straight-on shot of the home.
This last one is Dutch-colonial in style and is a very special place where her children did most of their growing up.
It is a very special thing to me, to be able to do these drawings and imagine the wonderful memories that live in these lovely houses.

You are a brilliant sketcher.
What a lovely momento for the owners to have of their home.
I’ll make sure Alan hears as to was none to happy on having to stop and hang around after a full day out.

Hi Christi,
It’s really me!! I know you probably thought I’d forgotten about you, but I did not!! Your kind notes were lovely and I felt enveloped in your sweet words and caring heart! Thank you so much for worrying about me while I was on my break! You are a gentle soul and I feel humbled that you thought of me while I was away. (((HUGS)))
I was okay ~ just doing a lot of gardening work and trying to get my life in order! I have found that that is almost impossible! There is always more to do!
I love looking at your sketches. You have really captured the feeling of each of the homes. The trees are so realistic! You are so very talented!!!
Spring smiles,
