On Martha's Vineyard

On Martha's Vineyard by Bowden, Robert L.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780789308788.

American history, New England coastal landscapes, and relaxed summer living are beautifully brought together in On Marthas Vineyard, a book of exquisite watercolors depicting one of Americas best-loved island destinations. This book features watercolors of Vineyard landmarks and its famed pastoral beauty and village sites: the Chappy Ferry, Katama, the cliffs at Gay Head, the Black Dog, the Big Tree in West Tisbury, and others. Bowden has captured the true charm of the island without romanticizing it; these watercolors instantly transport the reader to lighthouses and salt marshes and boat-filled harbors. This book is an affordable must-have keepsake for the seasoned resident, the armchair traveler, or anyone who has spent time--or has wanted to spend time--on Marthas Vineyard.
