What an interesting place to sketch! Thanks to Gregg and Linda who welcomed us to their amazing bonsai garden at their Anacortes home.
We were amazed to learn that the garden contains only 25% of the plants they had when they lived in Eastern Washington. Plus, each plant had to be unpotted for the move and then repotted once they arrived in their new home here! Definitely a labor of love.
Once we gathered, most of us sketched at the gazebo in Rotary Park. What a splendid May day for sketching water views. We also welcomed Dawn and Jamie. Thanks for joining us!
What a gorgeous afternoon of sketching and friendship! Carolyn's beautiful garden with lilacs, camellias, and iris, along with lovely, quiet spots was quite a treat. Plus, a big welcome to Peggy! Thanks for joining us.
What an amazing afternoon we had at Joe Treat's in Bow. Joe and his wife were so welcoming and gave us a tour of Joe's workshop. He started making driftwood animals/sculptures at age 62 and he says it's been life-changing.
We're happily sketching outside now and Kalena's yard was a perfect spot on this April day. Trees, mountains, water, and good friends!
It was a chilly but great afternoon sketching at the Farm on 41st. Such a delightful group of animals (we even got to see owner Jojo feed a sweet little lamb) plus incredible grounds with so many fun things to sketch all across the property. Thanks for having us, Jojo!
April 6 marked the first day we've gotten to sketch outside in 2026! Our historic depot proved to be a perfect spot with some last stands of daffodils, grape hyacinth, and even just a few cherry blossoms still hanging on. A glorious afternoon in the sunshine with friends!
