Sketches From The Harvard Forest

Lots of fine scenery here, and new sketches from the field. Posted here are a few drawings made from the banks of the rushing stream behind Benson House, from the most comfortable mossy seat, with the peaceful sounds of water close by cascading over granite boulders.

I’m off for a couple of days on Martha’s Vineyard for sketching, birding, and long walks on the beach. See you when I get back. And thank you for the kind words and thoughts about Cody; he was a good boy and I miss him.
