Sitting in the Sun, Sketching

Mum and D sketching, pen and wash Regular readers of Feathers of Hope and Bird by Bird know I do this a lot. Today, though, I did it with my mother and sister. We drove out to Booth Bay Harbor for lunch. It was so warm we sat outside to eat, enjoying a Vietnamese lunch in a place that fronts as a bakery (the donuts are very popular with the locals).

We sketched, we ate, we drove down inlets, we popped into Halcyon Yarns in Bath (a dream palace and unexpected as their website says they’re closed on Sundays).

It’s a simple pleasure, picking up a pen and sketching a common eider or a lobster boat or the blue bay with conifers edging down to the water, red barns, oaks past their peak.

I live very far away. I wish I didn’t…

  1. :-) It sounds idyllic. I’m glad you live on this coast, though!
