Autumn Backyard October 1991


Well, yes, it's the wrong season for this picture, but it's one of my favorites. It was done while I was staying with an old friend of my family. He was an architect and a landscape designer and I loved talking about design with him. As with most architects, he created his own house and landscape with his own designs. This is his back yard, complete with white wooden divider wall and an old-style New England stone fence. The house was in Rhode Island near the seacoast. Wildlife and migrating birds visited the area year round. The architect and his estate are now gone but I did a nice drawing in good memory.
