Drawing of a little house on legs.  (Graphite & colored pencil, © Melinda Nettles 2014.)

build - move - make

I do so enjoy drawing places, imaginary and real. One of the niftiest things about working as a designer of buildings, like I did in my past life, was to imagine not-yet-real places and see them become real.  I guess I've kept on making imaginary places on paper... but now they need not obey the forces of gravity, or keep the water out.  Oh!  The possibilities...

France.
I cannot say for certain, because I have only been there on the inter-web, but the rumor is that France is a raaather nice place to visit.  This little building is, apparently, on the northernmost coast, just a hop skip and a jump from England, really, what with ferries and chunnels and such.  There are seagulls, I suspect, squalking away, and little sea creatures moseying about in the sand, and a dinghy or three parked just up the road.  (How could there not be, in this salty-aired scene?)  I wonder what that bloke by the doorway is waiting for.  Perhaps the fishmonger, with a custom delivery, or maybe the cheese maker, with a little nice something to share.
