Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and more Baltimore

I like to draw on site because I see the scene in a different, more profound way, and the memory is stored in my mind in a whole other way too. My sketchpad is small, and I usually draw while standing. One time I found out that a passerby thought I was a meter-maid and was writing a ticket for her car.

I drew this picture standing inside the gift shop, not buying, because it was raining.

Church Hospital, Baltimore, where Edgar Allen Poe died

One of the oldest (and crookedest) houses in Baltimore, circa 1790. Sold in 1980 for $1.
A fixer-upper it was!
