Finally a beautiful clear sunny day for a road trip to Cape Cod. The seals were sunny themselves on the sand bars off of Chatham Light Beach (possible future sketch) and people were finally coming out from a long winter hibernation. This is a quick line drawing sketch from across the harbor looking towards Stage Harbor Marina in Chatham, MA. Only one fishing boat in the harbor, but the floats were all awaiting in the water for the summer boats. Faber-Castell Pitt XS pen in the Stillman and Birn 9″ x 12″ Alpha Sketchbook.

First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro
The First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro opened for services on October 26, 1890. In the early 1900s David Pratt gifted us a more central and visible parcel of land on Main Street next to the Town Hall. The church building was cut into three pieces, then pulled by oxen through the streets, and remounted on its current stone foundation with a new porch in 1907.

Las Olas Street
One more sketch from Florida before returning home where Spring still does not want to arrive. Las Olas Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a wonderful walking street with shops, restaurants and great people watching. This is a small Spanish tower on the corner of one of the side streets. With the stucco and tile architecture, I felt that the Terra Cotta color sketch would suit the architecture best. Faber-Castell Sanguine Pitt Art Pens in a Alpha Series Stillman and Birn Sketchbook.

The Parish House and Chapel
I have even less time to draw in weekends than during the week with all of the snow clean-up required this winter. This is a quick sketch of the Parish House and Chapel at Saint Barnabas Memorial Church in Falmouth, MA that was dedicated in December 1890. The building was a gift from Frank Beebe in memory of his mother and two sisters, Frances and Mary Louise. The house was originally used as a reading room or library for the town of Falmouth.

Value Study
A quick value study for a possible watercolor painting at a later date. This is from a photo taken during a much warmer time of the year. The view is of an old fishing shack on Rocky Neck in Gloucester, MA looking towards Smith Cove. Koh-I-noor woodless grafite pencil in an Alpha Series Stillman and Birn Sketchbook.
