Village Green
Posted: October 27, 2023 Filed under: Uncategorized 8 CommentsIt’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.




















Happy beautiful art once more! You always inspire me, Shari. Looking forward to starting your new online class! Karen
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
Wonderful sketches so full of the wonder of this season of colors! Great job.
These are wonderful. Love the color. Can’t wait to get started on your latest video I just purchased.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! I’m so excited to be taking your class in Nashville in March., but I need to practice, practice, practice the online courses that I have now.
I heard it on the news . Take care❤️
Lovely. Looks like you had a windy day for plein-air sketching!
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.
