Cocktails atop the Westin

Our friends Nat and Steve fell into a night in the Rainier Suite at the Westin. They kindly shared their good fortune by inviting a few friends up, and while the others sipped wine, I sketched the view from the 39th floor. This is looking down at 5th Avenue...off to the right was the waterfront and ferris wheel...tough to decide which view to do!

A big congratulations to Gabi for the full page spread in today's Seattle Times!!!
Beautiful sketches, as always, and they tell such interesting stories...really great. We look forward to seeing what you'll discover in 2013...

Wow, how wonderful you could take advantage of such an amazing view. I like the way the blues and golds spark against each other. Very nice.
