One of the things I enjoy downtown on Fridays, just as much as drawing, is meeting the incredible people who work downtown. On Fridays I get to chat with local shop owners as well as the men behind the designing and building of The Factory and its many shops, lofts, and soon...a Restaurant! Last Friday, … Continue reading Giada’s Coming Soon!

The Factory in Watercolor
As you know, I am working on portraits these days. Some take longer than I can post on a regular basis. I am also continuing to draw and paint in my little town of Kernersville. I thought I would post some of the backlog of drawings and paintings I have from my Friday morning fun. … Continue reading The Factory in Watercolor
Harmon House
I haven't posted in a while about my Friday drawing time downtown France Kernersville...but I've sure been drawing there and have been enjoying the company of other "sketchy" folks at the Factory. I have a backlog of drawings to post. Here's one from a while ago, before the heat kicked up. Somehow, staying at the … Continue reading Harmon House

Splurging at the Factory
Friday mornings at the Factory here in Kernersville is one of the highlights of my week. There may be only one other than myself, or there might be four of us, but we have such fun drawing and talking together. I'm incredibly behind in showing you the drawings from these sessions, but here's one with … Continue reading Splurging at the Factory
The Tempest
Another "ride" in downtown France Kernersville. Well, I didn't actually go on the ride. Drawing it was fun enough for me! But I have a confession to make. As I sat there drawing this and the other carnival rides, I realized that I had never been to my town's Spring Folly Festival. Not once. Not … Continue reading The Tempest
Folly Time in K’ville!
I'm not sure whether this would be considered a typical site in France or not. But here in Kernersville, we recently had our annual Spring Folly Festival. When my fellow artist friend, Debbie, and I went to draw downtown, I was delighted to see folks setting up the rides in Harmon Park. Color! Shape! Line! … Continue reading Folly Time in K’ville!
This One Makes Me Smile
Another Friday morning in "France"... 😉 aka. downtown Kernersville, I was on my own this particular day so I chose a view I might not have done had there been others with me. This is looking into the courtyard of the Factory where the fountain is, the lamp posts and iron bridges, and the little … Continue reading This One Makes Me Smile
Dejà Vu!
As I drew the beautiful fountain in the center of the Factory Courtyard, downtown Kernersville, I was struck by a sense of dejà vu! I had been there before drawing this very fountain! Sure enough, I later found in a sketchbook from 3 years ago, several drawings made right here, one of the fountain and … Continue reading Dejà Vu!
It’s Not About the Drawings
Friday mornings are fast becoming a favorite part of my week. A few artist friends and I are meeting up downtown K'ville to draw/sketch/paint our little town. As I mentioned in this post, I feel like I've stepped into a little slice of France...or England, or Italy... and I'm giddy to be getting it down … Continue reading It’s Not About the Drawings
