four-poster bed ~

[lookingland]

this one is for msmcguire who asked for a "...canopied four-poster?" interestingly, there's just one canopied four-poster that figures into this story, but it's significant because it's morse's bed and the bed that lewis will (the year after this scene) spend time recovering from gettysburg in (and ultimately lose his virginity in ~ eek! ~ which has nothing whatsoever to do with this scene, but i thought i would mention it). unfortunately, as usual, the word balloons sort of obscure some of the cool details about the drawing (like the ship above the mantel and the little footstool at the side of the bed) ~ but oh well.

p.s. my favorite thing about painting lewis's face is that he seems perpetually red-eyed/bloodshot and runny-nosed. he's been recovering from a bout of bronchitis in this one, which is why he's sick.




still drawing ~ if i haven't posted a prompt of yours, hang in there, i am getting to them, slowly!

I have to ask. Does he lose it to Morse?

well i could be provocative and just say yes, but it's not the Morse in this scene ~ there are seven daughters in addition to the two sons in this family.

this Morse is definitely the least likely candidate, but i am willing to admit that Lewis's pubescent filial affection does get a little confused at some point in their friendship.
