Thank YOU all so much for your most generous comments yesterday -- I cannot tell you how they lifted up a sagging soul after a truly taxing day -- thank you ...more than I can say.
I got home late last night and worked on this French Window (from a photo on Wet Canvas) that I began Tuesday night. I was drawn to the stonework and of course, flowers, and wanted to see if I could keep it rather sketchy and simple ... I LOVE windows, arches and doors, but I have a tendency to sketch every stone -- sigh -- but I feel as though I've come a bit closer with this sketch to simplify my vision far more than I normally do.
Hope everyone has a terrific day!

Lin,
This is spectacular!! I have a series of window/flower box photos that I took in Venice and would be happy to share the photo album with you on Ofoto.com if you need more. This might inspire me to tackle them.
Oh, Lin---this is beautiful!!! I love it! I am also drawn to windows and doorways but haven't had the courage to try it.....You've set the bar pretty high!--Carol C.
Lin, Your window is SUPER!!! I think you included just enough brick markings. I haven't been to France (except passing through a train station long ago). I love the lacy curtain in the window. Great job on this!!!!
Another really pretty sketch! The colors, the detail, all charming. I wonder though, might it make a bigger impact cropped in so the window fills the frame more? I may be all wet, probably am. I'm enjoying your dialy doses of charm.
It is beautiful. I love the vignette style of this.
Beautiful!!
hugs chris
Don't worry, Lin, there is not one stone too much. Amazing wall and beautiful flowers... Brava! :)
Lin - this is really wonderful! Beautiful interpretation of the stone -- I think you did the perfect amount of line work and the perfect amount of "stuff left up to the viewer"...
:-) GREAT!
Oh it's so nice to see your windows again. This one is just beautiful. I am still amazed at how you can switch subjects with such ease.
Hugs,
Lorraine
