Day 297 "Ferry Due" ink, marker, pencil 6 x 9

This morning we meandered down to the dock to say good bye to a couple of our visitors.  There were several jumpers from the dock as the ferry pulled away.  It's a Monhegan traditional way to say farewell, doesn't happen every time the ferry leaves, but pretty often considering the water is about 60 degrees, and at a low-ish tide like today, it's a 15 foot drop, and then climb up the dock's ladder.  We said good bye to our friends, then hung out for a coffee, chatted with a few locals we know and watched the pick up trucks line up again for the next incoming ferry.  Everything is beautiful against the backdrop of graceful Manana island across the harbor.

This is my two hundred ninety-seventh daily drawing.  Thanks for your continued interest.  

Day 139 "Ferry Due" 9 x 7 mixed

Each summer we spend a couple of weeks on Monhegan Island, Maine.  It is small, and breathtakingly beautiful, twelve miles out into the Atlantic.  There are no cars for visitors on the island, just a fistful of pickup trucks that arrive at the dock numerous times a day to meet incoming ferries.  The dock is a spot of comings and goings, of exhuberant welcomes and warm goodbyes. One of my favorite spots.  
This is my hundred thirty-ninth daily drawing.  Again, thank you for your interest and your ideas.
