I am working through a how to draw book that suggested drawing a corner of the room. I drew the cabinet in the lounge. The cabinet is one of the first pieces of furniture I commissioned for my first home. It is made of Tasmanian Oak and has stained glass doors at the top. It is full of all my treasures and favourite glass ware. I have other furniture to match and I have had it now for over 25 years. I want to grow old with the furniture. I don't want to update it.
I really enjoyed doing the drawing because it was one of my first detailed drawings and I am very happy with the result. It was done in pencil but I had to enhance it on the computer so it could be seen on the blog.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

You've done a great job on this Susan - lots of really good detail.
I can see why you want to hang on to this cupboard, Susan. I wouldn't be in a rush to grow old though - too much to sketch :) The sketch is great - full of detail and I particularly love the stained glass.

Lovely drawing! It's fun to see little glimpses into others lifes, I never thought of getting old with the furniture, I think of what I could replace things with. Sounds awful put like that!
Absolutely lovely piece of furniture and wonderful memories to go with it. Great detail work Susan.
Oh, it's a very lovely piece. I agree! Some pieces of furniture need to grow old with us and then move into other homes where they will be treasured. What a terrific sketch - and not an easy one!!
Lovely Susan. What a great drawing of a lovely piece of furniture. I can tell why you are proud of it.

The detail on this is lovely, and the whole thing stands up well (I'm sure my attempt would have been wonky). It looks like a lovely piece of furniture, well worth hanging on to.
A nice drawing of a nice piece of furniture..Well done, susan
