Lighthouse overlooking New London Bay, PEI ❤️. Not sure what it's real name is... New London or Yankee Hill lighthouse. Done in ink and water soluble graphite.

With #halifaxusk at Mic Mac Mall. Lots of Christmas stuff to sketch but this display of Herbie the Love Bug and a 50s? Thunderbird was a great opportunity to practice drawing cars!

At Alderney Landing during Christkindlmarket with #halifaxusk. We managed to do some sketching outside where it was frankly not quite warm enough ❄. November 30 might be the new record! ❤️

This morning the urban sketchers visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It was warm enough out on the wharf to do a quick continuous line sketch of CSS Acadia ❤️

"Undaunted", a cape islander hauled up in Borden PEI. This boat will need a lot of work before it sees the water again and lives up to it's name ❤️

It’s in the north end, part of Fairview Lawn Cemetery

At Alderney Landing this morning with #halifaxusk. Boats were a popular subject, perfect for #boatober! Some nice boats in the marina, the one with the brown dodger and orange tarp caught my eye.
