The Neighbor's House

The graphite on paper piece leaves much to the imagination, and almost resembles an abstract. When you know what your are looking at though, it becomes quite clear. This is exactly what I was looking at, out my front door, while pencil and paper were at hand.

The title tells the viewers what they cannot quite understand. This is the house across the street, on Skeeter Lane, at Wallops Island. A NASA runway is just beyond the bank of dark trees, which blend with the garage roof of the neighbor's house. The neighbor's house is the light triangle on the right. It is actually their garage front, above the double garage door. The dark triangle, among the tree branches, and below the rain gutter, is our garage roof, and the tree right outside the bedroom window.

Watching the spring bloom move in the breezes, along with the confiers across the street, was very relaxing. It is hard to imagine the ocean is so incredibly close, when there is no evidence in this rendering. The falcons, like the one drawn below, were always cruising thermals in the area, and enrichened this artist's life. Wallops Island is a bird sanctuary, within a region of bird sanctuaries.

The piece is approximately 16x10". It is stored at the moment, negating an immediate accurate measurement. If you are interested in purchasing it ($250 + shipping, insurance, and handling), exact measurements will be gotten.
