Beth’s Café

waynejacques2 Comments

On our way onto the Cape for our Saturday road trip, we were going to stop at our usual spot for breakfast but the power was out in that area of town which forced us to explore. We found this wonderful little café an had a wonderful scrambled egg wrap. Beth’s Bakery and Café is owned by local lifetime residents of the beautiful historical town of Sandwich, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. This building was originally built as a Puritan Church and was owned later by the Catholic Church. The interiors are very simple with the original wood floors and a wonderful display case of baked goods.

A quick, simple line drawing sketch of the golf porch on the recently completed Canoe Brook Country Club. I was at the club for a golf outing and fundraising dinner with the new Jersey Club Managers. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black  ink in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

Cape Rep Theatre

The Cape Rep Theatre was founded in 1986 in Brewster, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Their current home is the former Camp Monomoy which includes the Indoor Theatre (former Dining Hall), Outside Theatre, Cape House and the Barn shown in this sketch. The Barn was built in in the late 19th century. A current fund raising effort is underway to restore the barn for continued use by Cape Rep. Tonight we saw an amazing performance of Hairspray. Fantastic show and a very talented group of actors and singers. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

Carmel Mission

waynejacquesLeave a comment
Mission San Carlos Borroméo del río Carmelo in Carmel-by-the-sea. The mission was the headquarters of the Alta California missions headed by Saint Junipero Serra from 1770 until his death in 1784. It was also the seat of the second presidente, Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen.The mission buildings and lands were secularized by the Mexican government in 1833, and had fallen into disrepair by the mid-19th century. They were partially restored beginning in 1884. In 1886 it was transferred from the Franciscans to the local diocese and has continued as a catholic parish church since then. It is the only one of the California Missions to have its original bell tower dome.

Westport River Vineyards

We had a great time at the Summer Concert Series at Westport River Vineyards in Westport, Massachusetts. A very stormy evening with lightning all around, but it held off until the concert was almost complete. A fun thing to do on a summer evening. You can bring your own food and drink with beer and wine made on the property available also in addition to a raw bar and a food truck that had excellent food. This is a sketch of a barn and silo on an adjacent property. It was tucked amongst an abundance of green foliage.

Maximus

Traveling from New Jersey, I got off the interstate in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. A great little town with cafes and restaurants in the old section of town. This is Maximus Antiques. The layers of plants and flowers were both in front of the shop as well as the roadway medium.

A design concept for a simple replacement structure for the Wareham Boosters Snack and Ticket Stand at the football field in Wareham, Massachusetts. The boosters are looking to raise money and secure a grant for rebuilding this area. This quick study will be cleaned up and used for a presentation to the city.
