Pumpkin Sale

My wife and I were in Newport, Rhode Island through the middle of this week. It was the second stop on a trip to the east coast that started with several days in Annapolis, Maryland for the in-water sail boat show. We went to Newport because we've been a couple of times before and really enjoy the town and its history.

This was done Tuesday this week while my wife was shopping. The sketch is of Trinity Church which over looks the Newport water front. Every year there is a pumpkin sale that goes on in the park in front of the church. Between the orange pumpkins and the church framed against a blue sky, the sight was more than eye catching.

Whitehall United Methodist

Here's my contribution to the June scavenger hunt. This is a sketch from this past weekend of the United Methodist church in Whitehall, Michigan. The church is located a few blocks from our boat and its short bell tower hosts a bell that actually rings. The church provides a beautiful accent to a very pretty street.

June Scavenger Hunt is almost here!

...and the theme for this month is churches (or synagogues, or mosques, or temples...)  June weddings are what prompted this suggestion, so feel free to include the bride and groom!
