Our tomatoes are looking good in our garden. This variety comes in clusters of 5 and are about 1 1/2″ and very tasty. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
Sketchbook
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.

Bull Riding
A fantastic evening celebrating the High School Graduation of our Nephew and his 2 best friends. There was about 150 family and friends to celebrate the conclusion of one phase of life and the continuation of another onto college. Excellent food, drinks and conversations along with games including a mechanical bull. It was fun to watch all of the kids try their skill on the bull and some of the adults. Very entertaining and everyone had a great time. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta Sketchbook.
House Studies
A couple of quick studies for a future watercolor painting of our house. The plan is for more of a graphic painting focusing on the foreground flowers as much as the house. The flowers are Black Eyed Susan’s, Daises and Cone Flowers. Graphite pencil in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
