Fort Hill

One of the best views on the outer cap is at Fort Hill which is part of The National Seashore which is part of the United States National Park system. Fort Hill is adjacent to the Penniman House, a historical whalers house built in 1868. The view is beautiful of the marshes, barrier islands and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. In the springtime, the fields are bursting with color from the great variety of wild flowers. Today there were pink Sea Roses and white Yarrow. The green of the marsh is really this vibrant with the darker blue water. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.

A beautiful evening for an AIA event at the Bready Sailing Center at Roger Williams University. Fantastic location overlooking Mount Hope Bay. These steps lead down alongside the building to the lower level and the sailing dock.

Driving along the coast from Woods Hole to Falmouth, Massachusetts, we can across an amazing field with 1,000’s of yellow and orange lilies. It was absolutely breath taking. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black in and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute is a private, nonprofit research and higher education facility dedicated to the study of all aspects of marine science and engineering and to the education of marine researchers. Established in 1930, it is the largest independent oceanographic research institution in the U.S., with staff and students numbering about 1,000. Its shore-based facilities are located in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The bulk of the Institution’s funding comes from grants and contracts from the National Science Foundation and other government agencies, augmented by foundations and private donations. This sketch is of one of the doorways into one of the many buildings on the campus in Woods Hole.
