The Porch

As I was driving home from sitting a show in Bellport yesterday, this porch in East Patchogue caught my eye. I have passed this house hundreds of times and never really noticed it. I think the fact that most of the leaves on the trees and shrubs have been blown off in the past few days made more of the house visible from the street. I liked all the firewood stacked on the porch ready for nice warm fires.
This is 5 x 7.

  1. Joan - such a homey scene. Sounds like someone may be using that firewood if that winter storm hits. Take care and have a great Thanksgiving.

  2. I think because there is just so much inspiration around to paint sometimes ordinary looking scenes are passed by but you saw something to inspire this time and voila!

  3. Thanks, Debbie! Hope you have lots of firewood stored just in case.

    Lorraine, thanks! I think there are a lot of things like that which we just don't see for some reason and then all of a sudden you want to paint it. lol

  5. I've caught up on lots more lovely sketches. I especially enjoyed the NYC scenes in the previous post, such a unique vantage point, sometimes perspective can be awkward with things like this but you've got it nailed Joan!!! This porch has that charming, inviting feel that you always convey so well. Nice work!!!

  7. Definitely makes me feel Christmas-y. I think it is the pine tree on the right and the stacks of wood. Homey and I love it!
