Pioneer Park in La Conner - under the beautiful Rainbow Bridge - was the perfect spot to sketch today. But more importantly, it was the perfect spot to mark our beloved Frank's 94th birthday! Not only a splendid sketcher, Frank is also known to have a bit of a sweet tooth, so we just had to add birthday cupcakes to the occasion today. Happy Birthday Frank and on to 95!

It's always such a treat to sketch at Azusa Garden Centre and especially in mid-Summer when everything is in bloom. We parked ourselves throughout the nursery among the flowers and soaked up all the colors and scents while we sketched.
Today we scattered and sketched along Bisquet Ridge Lane in Bow off Farm to Market Road. It was a lovely afternoon sketching the greens and blues across the Samish Flats to Samish Bay.

It was all about the trees and water views when we gathered today at Washington Park. We are so lucky to have amazing sketching spots, but Washington Park is really special as you can see!
Today we sat in a wildflower field next to the Anchor Cove Marina and sketched. Some of us chose water views, others boats, and others flowers. What an interesting spot to sketch on this overcast Summer day.
Today we gathered in the shade of the "Swinomish hats" and painted the view of La Conner across the channel.
In the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, cedar hats are deeply significant cultural symbols, woven from traditional red cedar. They serve as both functional regalia and in this case, architectural landmarks. Located just across from La Conner, the Swinomish Channel waterfront park features three massive and striking pavilions designed to resemble traditional woven Coast Salish cedar hats.
It's always a pleasure to enjoy the pavilions and park while sketching in the Summer.
