Boathouses


I took a picture of these boathouses here in town in hopes of taking a stab at drawing them. Maybe evern painting them. Probably every local artist in the area has painted these. I've always admired their work and thought I'd love to own a print of it. I am no Christopher Wheat, but maybe I can eventually get there.

There just is something so peaceful about these houses on the water. I've been trying to understand and learn perspective drawing and this painting will be a good exercise.
