Dawn's Sketchbook Tidbits

I don't really pay much attention to horoscopes but this one grabbed me...at least part of it did and I really like thinking about it.
"'Some people say home is where you come from,' says a character in Katie Kacvinsky's novel Awaken. 'But I think it's a place you need to find, like it's scattered and you pick pieces of it up along the way.' That's an idea I invite you to act on in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It will be an excellent time to discover more about where you belong and who you belong with. And the best way to do that is to be aggressive as you search far and wide for clues, even in seemingly unlikely places that maybe you would never guess contain scraps of home."

While in residency at the Sou'wester I am building a building...and looking at buildings and paying attention to the buildings around me here in Seaview and Long Beach and wherever I wander. So it makes sense to me that my sketchbook at the moment is full of a collection of buildings that I love in this area. Here are a handful of them:

(buildings, buildings, buildings) I love this little building tucked in between and on a 4-wheel trailer.

This triangle house-shape did indeed have a door on the other side.

I found this set of buildings when I was here in April and now I visit them again. I so love these buildings and would love to know their story.

These structures have been influences in my mode of construction and the surface treatment of my cardboard-house-hut that I am building.

I have been admiring the form of these for a long time, especially when they are not sitting on a vehicle. Finally I found one I could take photos of and the owner did not care if I did so. Thank you!
