Long summer days—Back in Maine

I have been back in the USA for a little over a week. The weather has been perfect for those wonderful long days of summer on the Maine coast. Lots of time catching up with friends and getting outdoors. Not much sketching...and I'm heading to Santo Domingo for the 3rd Annual Urban Sketchers Symposium in a few days...


The view from the deck watching the full "Thunder" or "Buck" moon rise over Portland harbor. The sky was still quite light.


4th of July at the beach started out with this delicoius cheese and fruit platter along with a lovely bottle of champagne.

A very quick sketch of our friend Mike while we enjoyed the wonderful food in the above drawing. I had to sketch the food first because, along with the champagne, it was going fast.

Sketch of friend Ben using black and gray shades of Pitt Pens.

Great sketches. The Portland view and the platter are really great. I also really like the sketch of Ben. Seems like a wonderful homecoming.

Your work is fantastic. Your looseness, color and great drawing ability is spectacular. Very inspiring.
