Early in his artistic career, William Gordon Keyworth (1927 – 2017) lived in Ipswich and worked as an art teacher at Shore Country Day School in Beverly. During his years in Ipswich, he painted a series of sketches and watercolors of historic buildings and scenes. Their first home in Ipswich was on Meeting House Green, which Keyworth and his wife Barbara owned from 1959 to 1965 (4596:348). He afterward lived on East Street and Argilla Road. After moving to New Hampshire, Keyworth became known for his pen-and-ink drawings of covered bridges of Vermont and New Hampshire. Some of his work is displayed at the Ipswich Museum on South Main Street. The prints shown here are courtesy of Cathleen and Paul McGinley.

Gordon I enjoyed seeing these sketches and many thanks to Cathy and Paul for sharing them. I just post the sketch of the Ipswich light to the Islanders Talk Facebook page as I thought the locals here would enjoy it. I did properly attribute it to you and historicipswich.net.
