Westport Sketchbook: Sunny Sunday
Posted on 22 February 2010
Light and shadows captivate me. The way buildings are illuminated by light, ever changing. Long, dramatic shadows reaching on a clear blue sky day had me besotted on Main Street yesterday.
People are more compelling, though. One woman casually strode around in black heels and a purple suit, no overcoat (it was finally warm enough). And she had her hair in a french braid, her hand in her suit pocket. I wondered, had she just come out of church, or was she on a break from working in one of the shops on Main?
And the babies! They were able to have some fresh air, too. One baby was being toted in a car-seat carrier by his dad. (Go to www.westportnow.com)

How I love your Westport sketches! I sense the feeling of a small, sophisticated town — your sketches make me feel as though I am there and walking and enjoying the scenery. The lady in the purple suit and the baby being carried just made it more real. Wonderful! Mom
This sketch is beautiful, captivating! You make the town
and the day look so special.
I often love to see how reflection plays on things. Today is my b-day and I remembered it (forgot it in years passed) but God did not want me to this Year he put Miila in my mind she was born the same day, time and year as I. 2 weeks ago we worked together and I remembered her….hugs Linda
This would make such a great card. Even though people don’t write letters that much anymore, how great to get a letter from someone written on a card that was a sketch capturing a normal day in their town. It would be a fun extra touch.
