"Old Living Room"

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I headed out for an overnight trip. We spent the night in Pendleton, Oregon, and the next day drove to Walla Walla, Washington, to visit the wineries and art galleries. In Pendleton, we stayed at the Parker House Bed & Breakfast which was filled with "things" to sketch: I chose the living room and find it fits EDM's challenge to sketch something "old."

  1. Jim, this is a fantastic drawing! Love the way you draw the eye in with that table on the diagonal (I think it is a table but since I can't see the sketch as I type....). Really good perspective and composition!

  2. I second the motion! Good to see you back at it. It looks that one took some real concentration. There's so much going on in that room.

    Well done.
