Wellfleet Screen Door
Text Box: One thing I always look forward to when we’re going on vacation is having a view. We have always gravitated towards islands and peninsulas where there is a lot of water and some form of commercial fishing. I think that gives a place character. I’m always disappointed when our view is just other cottages. This specific scene is actually impossible but it’s close enough to make me happy with it. I got interested in this type of drawing a long time ago. I realized fairly soon that I had to use two viewpoints. Normally I would put as much detail as possible into a drawing but the inside of a cottage isn’t what brings me to it. If we’ve found the kind of place we like we’re always looking through the windows. With this in mind I try to keep the interior simple and save the detail for the view. I’ve often done parts of a lot of drawings from different vantage points so it doesn’t bother me at all that this scene is actually made up of two different drawings.
