The subject of this colored pencil and ink drawing is a new addition to our family recently acquired at the Nantucket Bookworks (great store). I love their tag line of “independent and out to sea.” This cute stuffed animal was originally named Feddy after Federal Street in Nantucket. But her name soon changed to Feddy Cranberry and currently is now known as just plain Cranberry. She’s cute, small and as of now, very loved.
We really had only one rainy day on vacation (yea for me!) As a result I wasn’t able to do as much drawing as I thought I would. You see, I had to spend as much time as possible on the beach! However, today I am taking the ferry home, and this cloud matches my mood. Goodbye Nantucket… see you next year.
One last day on Nantucket… My beach chair is waiting.
August Birthdays, I only know of two… Gracie and Susu. Happy Birthday!

Oh, the sand in my toes…. I absolutely love this little house at Cisco Beach in Nantucket. The way it seems to be jetting out of the dunes is way too cute! And I’m just mad about the big overhang on the porch. Can’t you see yourself sitting under it with a tall glass of ice tea staring out at the ocean?
The island of Nantucket created with masking fluid and a lot of water. Might as well use water to make water don’t you think?
I am finding it hard to sketch on vacation, feeling a bit out of my element. I am finding that I prefer the solace of my studio to the kitchen table in the Knoll. Go figure… Vacation is relaxing. I’m relaxed. My ultimate idea of relaxing is to create, paint, beach and paint some more. But… just not feeling it. However, I’m going to keep persevering. Thank God for my Hipstamatic app. Something to give this illustration of the “Sunken Ship” row boat in the harbor a little life.

That’s right! I’m off. Nothing but sun, sand and surf where my only care will be if the tide is gonna reach my chair… Nantucket here I come!
