House Portraits-Pencil Sketches

I've done so much painting lately, that I have almost forgotten how fun and nice it is to sometimes just draw with pencil. I'm for sure stronger with paint, but every now and then, it's fun to get back to the "roots".

See below for a series of House sketches that I was commissioned to do by a family friend. The husband had me draw each house he and his wife (and family) have lived in over their lifetime. He was going to have them framed and give them to his wife as a Christmas gift. How cute is that?

I love love! (AND such thoughtful gift giving!)
