Summer on the road
Stone Table and Benches, Gould Farm Carbon Pencil on Paper 18″ x 24″
We travelled a lot this spring and summer, in North America and later in Britain. Here are some of the highlights of our trip as recorded in my sketchbooks. In June, I visited Gould Farm, in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts where my friend Rose is a volunteer. She wrote and edited a wonderful cookbook to celebrate the farm’s 100th anniversary as a healing and rehabilitation centre – and to raise money for this marvelous organization.
Barry planned three workshops for the summer: Toronto was first, in July.
Doctor’s House Pioneer Village 12″ x 16″ Watercolour
Gate, University College U of T 8.5 ” x 11″ Pen and Ink
Next, we travelled to Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, in the Bay of Fundy.

So nice you get to draw so much! Your drawings are fantastic. I love especially the ink and white charcoal ones. I seem to be always doing everything else except for drawing which I love most of all. Thanks for sharing!

Loved looking at your pictures Aleda. Noel particularly likes the pen drawings, especially Broadway Village in the Cotswolds. Seal Cove is my favourite. You are an amazing artist. Long may your muse inspire you. Love, Sonia and Noel
