Manhasset Congregation Church

The Congregational Church of Manhasset, has a history that dates back to its organization in the fall of 1939. Groundbreaking ceremonies for this structure were held in May, 1948, and the cornerstone was laid on October 24. Dedication of the building followed on June 12 of 1949. I was drawn to this building by the interesting and modern Bell Tower. I sketched this from the coolness of my car in between meetings on a very hot day.

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.

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.

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.

A very quick sketch to celebrate Bastille Day. I tried to be quick and my proportions are way off of the Citroen 2CV carrying the French Flag. Oh well, that is what practice if for.
