Fredericksburg Sketches A visual Celebration of our community
By Paula Raudenbush
Chavez House There is so much to sketch in our area that I could spend several lifetimes and not capture it all. This month's sketch is of a house in Falmouth just across the river. This one was done rather quickly as the temps were dropping and I was anxious to get inside with a hot cup of tea. Unusual architecture often catches my eye and I've always liked this building. I have recently talked with several visitors from out of town and they all had such wonderful things to say about our town. It makes me realize how often I tend to take things for granted just because they are familiar but sketching allows me to pay attention and to see the area through a different lens. It is said that you never really see something until you have tried to draw it and I find that to be very true. May you and your friends and loved ones enjoy the holidays. Cheers!
