Number six in a series of seven
for the Coll Family!
This home is located in
Mandeville, Louisiana where they lived from 1993-1996 and their second son was
born.
Once again, I sketched
this home to the likeness it was when they lived there. When I recall
the homes I've lived in over the years, each one holds special memories
for me. I travel back in time ... and I can still imagine those
little toddler hands curling over the top of the dining room table at my
home in Virginia. I remember when dozens of little Girl Scouts enjoyed a
slumber party on Doliver Drive and the excitement of prom night on Tanager
Trail. I re-live the parties and Christmas mornings with friends and
family on Shearwater Place, and even now when I look at the house I currently
live in, I imagine me at the front window and think of how I like to stare down
the street in anticipation, when my kids are coming home for a visit!
It's not just the exterior
walls and landscaping, or the doors and windows that I sketch ... it's
picturing the life that goes on inside and that's what warms my heart!
