Day 299 "Art Auction at Trailing Yew" 9 x 12 pen & ink

Each August when we visit Monhegan Island, there is a benefit art auction on the lawn of the Trailing Yew Inn and Cottages.  The auction benefits The Monhegan Island Sustainable Community Association (MISCA).  This worthwhile organization works to help attain affordable housing for year-round Monhegan residents without interfering with conservation.  This is accomplished by buying existing island properties as they become available and selling them to residents for less than market price.  You can read more at the link above.  
The auction has silent and live items, and is always well-attended and entertaining.  There were a number of terrific art pieces this year as well as strong silent auction items.  I drew while sitting in my chair.
This is my two hundred ninety-ninth daily drawing.  Thank you for your continued attention.
