General Wolfe Hotel

The General Wolfe Hotel is a cultural institution in Marysville.  Although it holds a dozen rooms or so, most would think of it as a tavern and may have gone there for live music.  Like so many businesses, its been closed these last few months as we get through the pandemic.

Its a long rambling structure that looks over Barrett Bay and the longer views to Fort Henry and Kingston, but this end of the building with its celebration of the military past made for the more interesting sketch.

As with many in this Marysville series, its a shame about the fold in the middle of the drawing.  I bought a lovely little sketchbook last fall, with smooth paper and a faint grid of dots that are helpful.  Its just the right size for sketching in the car in cold weather, but now that its warming up I'm thinking I should switch to a larger, one sheet format.  Maybe even break out the watercolours!
