ALEXANDRIA Virginia Watercolor Map + Sketch: PRINT
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia.
This is a PRINT of my Watercolor Wash Map-drawing in tones of weathered copper - blue-greens, beige, charcoal grey.
My architectural sketch features the 100 Block of Prince Street.
Alexandria harbors the early nineteenth century in its narrow rowhomes and streets of brick and welcomes time travelers. Ship Captains purportedly built homes at the 100 Block of Prince Street in Alexandria Virginia. "Captain's Row" still feels like the early 1800s, with its rough cobblestone street tumbling down toward the Potomac River where the tall ships docked. The brick rowhomes and their dormers and chimneys rise like random organ pipes, roughly following the slope. The former Bank of the Old Dominion (occupied by the Union Army during the Civil War) is now the Athenaeum, a place for the arts. A perfect example of a Classical Revival temple, the Athenaeum is like a hinge, anchoring Captain's Row at the crest of the hill.
