Draw or paint what you see and you’ll always remember it.

Throwback Thursday – This is a pen & Ink Drawing that I did 24 years ago in 1993. I was on a bicycle trip with the Appalachian Mountain Club that weekend, in Nantucket. A few of us stopped biking for a while and sat on a bench in front of this “Island Breeze” clothing store. I took out my small art-quote book and my ink pens and drew this image right there. When you draw or paint something, you really look at it closely, and you tend to remember details that you never would have noticed, had you not created an art image of it.

I drew many pen & Ink images that weekend, and I always enjoy looking at them, and remembering that great weekend on Nantucket Island 24 years ago.
