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.

Next, we travelled to Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, in the Bay of Fundy.
