I recently went back to the inn at Spruce Head for a night (after having been there on June 4 (backtrack to the post of June 8.) I returned so I could sit again on the shaded deck & gaze, & smell the flowers & feel the sea breeze. And to sink into the quiet & peaceful rhythms of the tides & the seabirds & the light & the changing colors. The sketch above is actually a sketch drawn after I got back home. It was based on the rather scribbly & energetic sketch, below.
The difference is interesting to me.
Below is the first sketch from the previous visit, also different.
Feel like I am sitting there with you!!
ReplyDeleteLovely. You've hit upon one of the beauties of sketching on location--connecting with what you see. And what you see is a little different every time!
ReplyDeleteI love them all..!

DeleteRita -- Some locations in our life are so uplifting that we relish our return trips. Spruce Head appears to be one of those locations for you. I feel that you will make more return trips. Obviously nature has a definite tug on your psyche as reflected in your post's natural observations -- and of course your lovely sketches. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI love that you take/make the time to inhale the calm and that your sketches capture these times. xx
