On the farm

 

Kelsey Creek Farm in Bellevue features two historic barns on the crest of a hill, overlooking shallow valleys on each side. These barns, listed in the State Heritage Barn Register, were once home to the Twin Valley Dairy. The historic Fraser Cabin sits on the hill next to the dairy barns. There are often animals in the fields.

Urban Sketchers Seattle met there yesterday morning under a cloudy sky. At least it was cooler. The East Side contingent joined us. There was even a visitor from USk Boston.

I decided to do a montage. A duck in it's tiny "pond", some flowers, a small barn, and the cute cow mail box.

Down on the farm

We met at Bellevue's Kelsey Creek Park this morning. There was lots to sketch: barns, animals, and people.

I made a montage but started with a spot I'd noticed the first time I was there. It's a cute bunny bench in front of a small barn.

Earlier I'd met Charlotte with her mother, Jane, when they approached our meeting place.  Mom asked whether they could join the sketching group and I assured her children are welcome to sketch with us with their adult present.  But they hadn't brought any supplies.  As I was sketching the bunny bench, Charlotte reappeared, paper and pencil in hand!  She sat on the bench to draw so I added her to my sketch.  We shared our sketches and posed for the standard photo together! 

The rest of the montage were some of the animals and one odd flower.  I was amused by the rabbit whose name was "Cinnabun".
