Kaleidoscope of Dance

Tonight we attended our final dance recital for our Niece and Nephew. This is a copy of the cover art that was on the program. We have attended for 21 years and it has been an amazing experience with all of the talent displayed by all of the kids. Our niece started and attended for 15 years overlapping with our nephew for 15 years. Excellent ability and poise. Our niece danced with the alumni. Our nephew did both dance and gymnastics and in the final recital, he danced in 8 numbers, 3 solo. We will see more of his talent in that he will minor in dance in college.

Fishing Boat

This fishing boar pulled into the dock in Falmouth Harbor in Cape Cod when we were waiting to go to dinner. The boat pulled in and unloaded to a waiting truck (The Clam Man) and was heading back out to sea in about 5 minutes. I love working boats and this was a quick sketch using my Lamy fountain pen with Noodler’s black ink in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

The Pearl

Dinner at the Pearl on Wellfleet Harbor. Pearl’s building is a unique combination of old historical Cape Cod meets modern restaurant design. The heart of the structure is the peaked roof, visible over the open air kitchen. This structure was the original A frame of the famous Spit & Chatter Club which initially sat across Commercial St. from the current location. It was moved to the current site and redesigned into the well known Captain Higgins restaurant. Pearl’s design enclosed the peak from the outside, while leaving it visible when viewing up from around or in the new open kitchen.

Lobsters and Fish

While sitting at the bar for dinner at The Pearl in Wellfleet, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, this was the view across the marsh. The not descript building has a lobster sign on the railing and a fish sign on the wall. This is the Wellfleet Marine Corporation that was founded in 1964 as a modest tackle and boat rental shop on the town pier. It now has 2 boatyards, gift shop, fish market and still the tackle and boat rentals. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Black Ink in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

“These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor – and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.” Michael N. Castle.

Simple sketch of a cross and an American Flag representing those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free including my father who served in the U.S Army.
