Truro Vineyards has been in existence since 1992 but the house and the estate date back nearly two centuries. Built in 1813, the square dignified Federal house was part of a farm from its earliest beginnings. In 1930 famed artist Edward Hopper was inspired by the property and painted “Rich’s House”. He returned a year later to paint “Rich’s Barn”. During the 1940’s, the Richs produced magnificent cantaloupes grown in the estate’s warm, well drained sandy soil. Later, this same soil and site would prove to be a perfect spot for growing grapes. It is a perfect location to sit on the lawn in Adirondack chairs and enjoy a glass of their craft.

PB Boulangrie is located Perched in the south end of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, at the bend of Lecount Hollow Road, inside a pink rambler that last housed a seafood shack, the bakery and cafe has quickly won an enraptured following among locals and tourists alike, thanks to inexpensive pain au chocolat, crisp cranberry bread, lip-puckering lemon tarts and oversize flour-dusted batards and boules so perfect they might have been airlifted straight from the Left Bank. Fantastic Bakery and Bistro by 2 French Chefs that learned under Daniel Boulud at Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. Great vista to sketch with the pink walls and the bright flags.

Herridge Books is located just out of the center of the small village of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The Bookstore is in a small building and is the perfect store for a town that has been host to so many writers. This was sketched from a photo taken at dusk. The lighting was beautiful and how it made the façade glow. I did not even know how to capture that, so I did not try. Black Pitt Art Pens, Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Sketchbook.
