Island Sketch Book—the beginning

Heading Down East to Mount Desert Island after a stormy start and a night at Swans Island. My first day of sailing was in a thunder and lightening storm...
Dodging lobster buoys on our way to Isleford dock on Little Cranberry Island. 
Leaving Little Cranberry Island with the sails up heading to Frenchboro. The wind was from the northeast so I was wearing my parka...it's August!
Looking back to Mount Desert Island.

Leaving beautiful Frenchboro on our way to Winter Harbor.

I LOVE these island sketches! This is how I like to portray islands--simply, capturing the colors. All these sketches from your sailing trip are great.

I love your sketches. I've tried sketching while sailing without good results. I'm often too busy at the helm or holding on. What a nice way to enjoy the view.
