A line sketch while sitting on a bench over looking Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, NY. The buildings on the other side of the water are part of the Cold Spring Laboratories. The labs are always ranked as one of the top research labs in the world in molecular biology, cancer research and genetics. Beautiful campus on the harbour.

Sorry for the poor quality, phone photo.
A very quick sketch from a photo at today’s job site visit. Not a very interesting subject and I rushed the sketch. Therefore the quality is not where I would like it. That is why we practice.
After returning on the ferry to New London, Connecticut, there were 3 identical tug boats tied to the dock. The Towmaster was built in 1952, by Ira S. Bushey and Sons of Brooklyn, New York (hull #604) as the YN 604 for the United States Army. After many homes, she was acquired by the Thames Towboat Company of New London, Connecticut in 2004, Faber-Castell Pitt pens with Utrecht Watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Alpha Sketchbook.
A beautiful day for a road trip and ferry ride to Greenport, Long Island, NY. Early morning trip with Lisa, our great friends Keith and Katherine and professor David Hanser from Oklahoma State University. We traveled to Long Island to visit another of our professors from Architecture School at Oklahoma State University. George Baumiller turned 97 recently and is one of the most amazing and wonderful people that I know. We had lunch with George and took 2 walks around the neighborhood. Fantastic day. Multiple sketches from the trip. Faber-Castell Pitt pens in an Alpha Series Stillman and Birn Sketchbook.
A beautiful day to celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter with my wife Lisa and her family at our house. A wonderfully sunny day with the spring bulbs starting to peak through the soil and the birds chirping in the trees and birdbath. This table of Orange, Yellow, Purple and Blue Pansies along with Dip Dyed Daises was stunning at a local garden center. I did not do the explosion of color justice with my watercolors in a Moleskine Watercolor Sketchbook.
My relatives from another era. My parents traced our genealogy back to the Eddy family that were among the passengers in the “Handmaid” that landed in Plymouth on October 29, 1630 (only 10 years after the pilgrims of 1620) Middleboro, in common with other towns in the Old Colony, can boast of men in the nation’s formative years who contributed greatly to the growth of America by their industrious, pioneering spirit. Various sections of town are still known by the names of these early settlers. This is true of the section in East Middleboro known as Eddyville. Of primary interest to Middleboro is the knowledge that he is listed as one of the first purchasers of land from the Indians. This was the so-called Twenty-six Men’s Purchase in 1661. This is the old barn on the Eddy Homestead done in Faber-Castell Pitt pens in a Stillman and Birn Alpha Sketchbook.
