Some recent views of Seattle in the summertime

Sketching almost daily since returning from the symposium in Portland. It was such a stimulating boost to my energy!

Just back from fantastic 4 day trip to Portland

We sketched and walked and learned and talked and sketched some more. What a fun time in Portland. Ate well, met artists from around the world and fell in love with the lovely, pedestrian friendly city of Portland.........

Winter Flora and Fauna

A short trip back to Volunteer Park Conservatory to sketch in comfort!

New Sketchbook

Spent the last afternoon of the decade at the Seattle Art Museum. After enjoying the Calder and Michaelangelo shows, browsed the museum shop. Couldn't resist adding to my evergrowing textbook supply.

Interesting challenge: drawing night sketches and taking a deeper look into values and relationships of colors.

Grey Galley

1st sketch crawl

Jane, Marcia and I went together to draw with Urban Sketchers. We met at Volunteer Park and since it was a cold and damp day,I ended up sketching inside the Conservatory. What a lovely morning! We finished with delish borscht at Dilletante. Btw, our waiter was great! ;)

my Hawaiian respite

recent adventures in sketching

I have started sketching this autumn after years of feeling intimidated and trying all sorts of mediums. I am drawing "plein-aire" which is such fun and very rewarding.
