I am going to backtrack a bit now. On Tuesday I headed up to Maine. I like taking the Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point, NY to Bridgeport, CT. It makes the distance I have to drive shorter and it is such a nice ride. I arrived at the ferry terminal early enough to sip some coffee and sketch the view out the window of my car. The other cars were lined up waiting for them to unload the ferry that had come the other way.
Once on board I found an interesting view to sketch. The lifeboats really attracted me.
Because of your lovely sketches you made a boring journey really interesting
ReplyDeleteI love riding on the ferries. Lovely work, Joan.
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly and Sherry. The ferry is always a fun place to sketch...all kinds of views and interesting characters.
ReplyDeleteI've never taken the Ferry from Orient Point..but it sounds wonderful.! I've taken it from Port Jefferson..a bit closer to me. These sketches are excellent as always!!!
ReplyDeleteJoan - I too love ferries...these sketches are terrific. I am always overwhelmed by your dedication and skills of tackling so many subjects and making the most of every opportunity. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHilda - Thanks. The one from Orient Point gets me further north.
ReplyDeleteDebbie - Thank you so much!
