The recent Regional Sketch Outing was a lot of fun for me for several reasons. I came from Puyallup by bus, then took the trolley on Westlake to Mohai. It was my first time on the trolley and all I could see the whole trip was 'future sketches'. Being insecure about my transportation options, I came an hour early, so I had enough time to sketch the Center for Wooden Boats before official 'sketch-outing starting time.' During the outing--sketched from inside MOHAI:

 Over lunch it was a thrill to begin planning with Darsie Beck and others for a group sketch-outing on Vashon Island. More news on that is pending.

flowers and feathers

Here is the sketch I had the most fun with at the Lake City Farmer's Market on June 18, with Frances and then Dave! This flower seller had the most beautiful peonies, but peonies intimidate me. I was happy to stand there drawing these lush beauties, and the seller came and talked with me too. Fun!

Just to get us all in the mood, I'll throw in last month's goose from Fishermen's Terminal .

seattle's fishing fleet and working docks

Okay, everyone, when are we meeting at Fishermen's Terminal? I can't wait. This is my 8x8 oil sketch from last time, with Frances!

I keep waiting to see new sketches from you all up here, hope you'll post some!

Sketching at Fishermen's Terminal

This was one of the seemingly hundreds of fishing boats docked at Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle Washington on a recent sketching trip with a couple of artist friends. Hope to go there again soon.
