Larsen’s Fish Market… a Martha’s Vineyard Tradition
Oct 8 2010
Fall is digging in its heels here on Martha’s Vineyard. The weather has cooled, pumpkins abound, and many stores and restaurants have started to cut back their hours. One of my favorite island past times is still going strong for a couple more weeks, though. According to many, the best restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard is [...]
Vineyard Spring Spruce Up!
May 9 2010
Hello to friends of the Colonial Inn and Martha’s Vineyard. I’m happy to be back at work and in the loop after a quiet winter away from everyone. The Vineyard is bustling with spring activity. All of the busy little worker ants are scurrying about getting the island ready for our 2010 visitors. Restaurants and stores [...]
Martha’s Vineyard Winter Maintenance
Jan 22 2010
Perhaps the most frequent question posed to island people is, “What do you do in the winter?”. I get the feeling that many of our summer friends have a vision of a big, domed platter cover coming down from the sky to envelop Vineyard while the locals hibernate from New Years Day until Memorial Day [...]
Vineyard Autumn
Nov 5 2009
Fall is the opposite of spring. Nowhere have I seen the contrast of the two as obvious as on Martha’s Vineyard. In April, we see a world coming slowly and ambitiously to life. I’m not just talking about the overnight sensation of your brown lawn suddenly showing little patches of lime green. I liken what [...]

Okay, art enthusiasts, now that we’ve exhausted Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, let’s move westward to Vineyard Haven, where we’ll find a different variety of galleries. Main Street is definitely the place to be for Vineyard Haven art. Please keep in mind that this post is the third in a series on Martha’s Vineyard art, and [...]
A Stroll Through Arts District in Oak Bluffs
Aug 27 2009
Time to move our gallery stroll to Oak Bluffs. First, my apologies to all of the wonderful galleries I do not include in my ruminations. I know there are many, but I am trying to keep my selection to a literal stroll. Perhaps, in the future, I will blog about the notable artistic destinations that [...]
Martha’s Vineyard Art Galleries – An Abundant Collection
Aug 17 2009
Like most people who live on Martha’s Vineyard, I wear more than one hat. I love my job here with our guests at the Colonial Inn & Edgartown Residence Club, but I also would not feel like a whole person if I ever gave up my identity as a freelance illustrator. Those of us with [...]
August Events on Martha’s Vineyard, Part 2
Aug 1 2009
…Ah, now that I’ve caught my breath, on with August events. It is those of you that spend the last two weeks of the month with us who are the most adventurous and inexhaustible. I decided long ago that you all must go home and have another week of vacation to recuperate before returning to [...]
August on Martha’s Vineyard is Awhirl with Possible Dreams
Jul 25 2009
Hello friends. It’s hard to believe that the busy month of August is almost upon us. Those of you who are August regulars know that the BIG activities and events all occur in fast succession at the end of the season. Being a bit of a recluse myself, I have always admired our end of [...]
After A Day At The Beach, Martha’s Vineyard Theater Comes Alive
Jul 11 2009
A Vineyard experience doesn’t have to be all about the beach. After washing off a long day’s accumulation of sand, salt and oily sun block, why not discover the island’s superb theater offerings? Many visitors are amazed at the amount and quality of the professional entertainment available here. One of the most established venues is The [...]
