Well... I think... ...I like this fountain... ...just a little bit. Don't you? Oh, and here and here too! And I have another one...all in watercolor to reveal to you soon! Too Fun! P.S. The Fountain sits in the middle of the courtyard, so you can sit in any spot around it and have a … Continue reading The Fountain. The Fountain. The Fountain…

Ladybugs’ Window
I mentioned, in a previous post, Ladybugs, a quaint garden shop, that used to be open at the Factory. It closed its doors this summer, along with the wonderful book store Shakespeare and Co. I sat on the bench right in front of the shop's window just a week or two before it closed, to … Continue reading Ladybugs’ Window
Music in the Courtyard
This is a lovely memory for Maddie and me. In early summer, we went to the Factory Courtyard to hear some bluegrass music played by a local group of musicians. Every Friday night, the book store, Shakespeare and Co., would sponsor local talent to come play in the Courtyard. It was free and open to … Continue reading Music in the Courtyard
Giada’s Coming Soon!
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
Quaint Alley
Off Main Street, downtown Kernersville (or K'ville, as many of us call it), there's a quaint little alley with a few shops and a restaurant, called the Bistro B. Though you don't see it well in this sketch, the Bistro is directly on your left with tables and umbrellas for dining outside. I have loved … Continue reading Quaint Alley
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!
