I am excited to create a new gallery of work that I completed in the 1970s while family vacationing on Ocracoke Island, Cape Hatteras (Outer Banks), North Carolina. I used to divide my time between surf fishing, photography, drawing and of course eating all the delicious Ocracoke breakfasts, lunches and dinners. At first we rented fisherman's cottages from the Pony Island Motel for a few years, then we rented a condo in the Village of Ocracoke. I was there one January all by myself and rented a couple of rooms from a charter captain I fished with in the summer. They were in Florida for the winter. Part of my payment for the accommodations was a drawing of his charter boat to use in his brochures. This represents a body of work that was very pleasurable to me since I was drawing and relaxing and not working because I had to, but because I wanted to. I am trying to get back to that point with my current body of work. I hope everyone enjoys this gallery. I will be posting more. Right now there are 21 images there.

I just discovered in some research that this covered bridge is one of the few remaining active in the Vermont State highway system. Most of the existing bridges are located on town, county or private roads throughout Vermont. The Miller's Run bridge is also unique in that its design includes a foot path component allowing safe passage for bicyclists and pedestrians along this busy stretch of state highway near Lyndonville, VT.

It means a lot to me to get recognition on the Barns Big and Small Group, Debra and Dave. I love the images members of the group have published and I am thrilled to be part of it!

I appreciate the special feature on Debra and Dave's Barns Big and Small Group. I look forward to additional participation in this great group!

Among other interesting subjects I love to draw in Vermont, I am on a mission to draw as many of the Vermont North East Kingdom covered bridges as possible... then expand to the rest of Vermont and New England... The image shown is a rare example of a railroad covered bridge, the Fisher Bridge in Wolcott, VT. Thank you, Jacqueline Dagenais, for featuring my drawing on your group "Covered Bridges - Old and New. I appreciate the recognition.
