Pulaski Square in Green

I always took a moment to gaze or glance at Pulaski Square as I biked around or walked through it. No statue or fountain adorns its center, just a mass of thick bushes. But the TREES! They are magnificant, arching just perfectly to form a high, ballooning canopy of live oak boughs and moss. Not only the leafy ceiling, but the grass is truly greener here, too. I hope I've paid homage to Pulaski's greenness with this newest Print. The perimeter architecture of this Square is prim and content to nestle in the boughs as the trees completely overwhelm the square, and the ward - for effect.Pulaski Square is welcomed into the small but growing collection of SAVANNAH SQUARES Map-Drawings. << Find Pulaski Square Print FOR SALE in my SHOP >>

Though I had a few photos of Pulaski, the drawing would not have been possible to create from this distance without the help of my camera girl on the scene, Ashley Bennett. Big Thanks!

Peek at Maine

I've been working on a really neat project for the past several weeks, streetscape drawings commissioned for a coastal town in M A I N E. One of my favorite places in the US, I've pretended to be there, immersing myself in photographs while drawing the buildings in my studio in Maryland. I'll be sharing more when the work is finalized...

Captain's Row ALEXANDRIA VA: Postcards, Too!

Available in the SHOP

Captain's Row ALEXANDRIA VA: First Print

I drew the 100 Block of Prince Street, north side, Alexandria Virginia, two months ago. It is known as "Captain's Row." I also appreciated "Gentry Row" of the 200 Block Prince Street, same side.I dubbed the Athenaeum (the former Bank of the Old Dominion) the "Centerpiece", like a hinge between these two Rows. This idea is the framework for a series of two streetscape prints. The first Alexandria print is "Captain's Row." I would like to find a place for it in Alexandria, but it's always available in my SHOP.

North Carolina Cabin Map

Mr. H. built his cabin high in the North Carolina mountains, just below the ridge and the outcropping known as 'Eagle Rock' from which the blue ridge panorama stretches all around. It's a beautiful place, commemorated in this illustrative map, custom-made for this special spot of ground. I designed a pattern from four of my hand-drawn trees, combined with loose watercolor, to blanket the map and the map border reflects back the blue ridge views.
