Village Green

It’s just about time to sketch my favourite neighbourhood tree, but in the meantime, here are a few autumn scenes I sketched in Bar Harbor, Maine. Last week the town was still fairly crowded with tourists spilling out of the giant cruise ships that stop there as a part of an “autumn in New England” itinerary. The sidewalks in town are so crowded that it would be impossible to set up a sketching stool or easel. Fortunately there’s a Village Green with a covered bandstand, a great selection of trees and wonderful views of storefronts. Of course, having just returned from Maine, I can’t help but feel saddened by what is going on there this week.

    Lovely, dear Shari. Yes, it must feel awful to have just returned from that beautiful area to hear the dreadful news. Glad that you’re safe and sound.

    All the best, Corinne

    How fortunate that there is a village green with such a nice view. I know how crazy crowded the sidewalks get up there at this time of year. This worked perfectly.
