When my friend Brenda and I went on a painting date recently, she suggested we try to sketch the Allen House, a historic site in Newton, MA near where we live, which was once a station on the Underground Railroad. We sat in the front yard of the house for an hour, me cursing repeatedly over the problems of perspective. Later at home, with a photo to jog my memory, I painted the sketch. This is a Moleskine watercolor sketchbook which folds out into a double landscape format.
