Hamilton Cove

We took to kids to this wonderful spot near Lubec, Maine and let them run around and explore the rocky beach. This drawing is light and did not scan well but I enjoyed working quickly, especially on the rocks.

It rained hard all night and morning but cleared in the early afternoon. My wife and I took advantage of her parents and went for a hike along the Western Head Preserve trail in Cutler Maine. The fog parted by the time we had hiked a mile but the sky was heavy and wet.

This was the first of four sketches and poems made while on vacation in northern Maine.

This spot

is like an old friend

Everything feels just right

The same old story

never grows old
