ASk Goes Island Hopping

On Monday, a dozen intrepid sketchers boarded the six-minute ferry to Guemes Island to sketch!  Well, actually ten of us took the ferry to meet two island residents to sketch and paint.  After a time at Anderson's Grocery, sketching and painting a friend of some of the women and her horse, Mac, who was not the best of models, but a terrific steed, indeed.

The group migrated to Chris' magnificent home up the road from the ferry, tucked in a sweet nook of paradise.  Chris' gardens [plural] were breathtaking, and a great example of how one can really grow their own produce.  Beautiful plants all!

Once we toured the property inside and out, we perched on the deck for some sketching, wine and nibblies.  And of course, lot of chatter!  Am sure everyone there could tell their own stories of the day, but I am here to load  the sketches onto the blog!  Here they are!
