Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst

View post →Another drawing from the sail setting weekend at New London on the Charles W. Morgan. For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]

View post →Playing with some watercolor and trying to make some very fluid lines. I love being around the cherry trees; close to them, far away, under them, in them…any way I can be! I wish the blossoms lasted a bit longer, but maybe their short presence makes me really appreciate them when they show up in […]

View post →Another page of notes from the Naturalist Workshop in Provincetown, MA. This one is about marine debris. A little bit overwhelming to say the least! I haven’t been able to look at trash/debris the same way since we scoured the beach after the workshop looking for ocean debris. It comes in many shapes and forms […]
View post →A page of notes from the Naturalist Workshop 2014 in Provincetown, MA that Dalvero Academy attended last weekend. Entanglement is a major issue for whales, turtles and other marine animals. Rope used to be made of hemp, now it is all made of plastic. It doesn’t break down, EVER, and so this plastic rope becomes […]

View post →A pen and ink drawing of a model with my ink bottle and a glass of water to add to the ink… if I choose! Dip pen and ink are one of my favorite mediums to draw with. You never know what’s going to happen when you use it, so it’s always a fun surprise…serendipity! […]
