Why would people want to have pen and ink drawings of their house or place of residence? Well, there are numerous reasons for this. One can imagine that these sorts of illustrations probably originated, historically, with the advent of architecture; before a building was constructed, the future occupants would have needed some sort of idea as to how their future residence should look (as well as giving the artisans an indication of what goal they were working towards!)
On a more personal level, however, if where we live has some character or charm, then what better way of displaying those characteristics than in the form of a drawing.
Pen and ink drawings, watercolours, oil paintings etc. are all mediums in which to display these qualities with the added advantage of a little artistic licence, if needed.
Whether your place of residence happens to be a rambling old farmhouse, a quaint stone cottage or a modern town-house, an artist can provide you with a unique and original illustration of your house that will surely bring you much pleasure and satisfaction.
The same could be said of, say, a portrait of a member of your family or even a much-loved pet. It shows that you are proud of something that is personal to you and want to display that feeling to people who see it.
I am reminded of my late mother who suddenly decided in her mid-seventies that she wanted to be an artist and at the time, had never previously considered that she had an artistic bone in her body. She diligently took a course at her nearest college and surprised not only friends and family but most of all, herself!
Within a very short space of time she was producing some fine pieces of work and in several mediums but her best painting, in my opinion, was a large watercolor of the Edwardian house in which she lived.
Why was this her pièce de résistance? Because she loved this beautiful old building and it showed in her work. It was hung above the fireplace in her living room and provided an attractive and much admired focal point.
Clearly not everyone has these latent talents and the majority of the population will have to rely on the trained eye of the professional artist but it goes to prove a point. Pen and ink drawings of your house can enhance your life and be an interesting conversation piece.
Madura is one area of the islands included in the area of East Java, Madura is geologically part of northern Java, if we connect with the Madurese as a continuation of the limestone mountains which lies to the north and the south of the Valley Solo (Jonge, 1989: 5).
Agriculture developed in Madura is dry with limited land, thus affecting the results obtained. Madura hang of rice from outside the area. Outside the agricultural sector of the Madurese to his trade, husbandry and fishery as well as a producer of salt in the dry season (Subaharianto, 2004: 45)
Madura Island is surrounded by several small islands which amounted to 67 islands, mostly located in areas Sumenep. Madura is divided into several districts of Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan and Sumenep. Since the year 1858 Pamekasan is the capital of the island of Madura and become a more developed region compared with other districts in Madura (Jonge, 1989: 11).
