Chris Federico, the owner of Eclection in downtown Kernersville, has opened the arms of her shop to the faithful few who love to come out and draw. We are really grateful for such a beautiful spot to be indoors for the cold weather, to have so many wonderful things to draw, to sip delicious tea, and even shop the unique, eclectic creations there if we want to!
Even though there are only one or two others who draw with me, I love having this regular spot in my week to get out in the world and draw. This is just one of the many drawings I’ve made this winter while sitting in the lovely “living room”. Each week it is arranged and decorated differently, using some of the unique creations from the shop. One time Chris even set up a still life for us to draw, gathering this and that off the “floor”. Now THAT’s rolling out the red carpet!
I won’t be able to be there this Friday, due to the Art Show happening the night before and needing to either recuperate from that or go in and do some tidying up from the show. But I look forward to next Friday, and the next. If you’re in the area on a Friday morning…come draw with us! Chris would love to have you!

Yes. Color with a light humorous touch. Nice interpretation.
