Lovric's

We sure lucked out in weather.  It was wonderful being at Lovric's again.  Missing some sketches here, but we had about 7 from ASk and 5 from WISk!

Wednesday Sketching at Lovric's

Jerlyn, Maryam, and Missy spent several hours sketching off one of the docks at Lovric's this afternoon.  We can't wait to return next week!  There are endless things to sketch!

Sketching at Lovrics: My Summer Job by Sally Foster

I've always wanted to sketch at Lovrics Marina and I was thrilled with the opportunity to do so this summer.  Every Wednesday morning I eagerly arrived to see what new was happening and I was never disappointed!  Each week there were new boats both at the docks and on the hard and new projects underway.  I filled a sketchbook and could have kept going!

I learned that the La Merced, used as the breakwater, once hauled canned salmon from Bristol Bay to Anacortes.

 On my first trip to Lovrics I found the Tugugly and sat on the dock to sketch her.  When I finished I stood up and saw an even better view that included her waterline so I did another sketch!

 When my cousin Bruce, also an artist, came to visit, I took him with me to Lovrics.  Alice was his aunt and my grandmother so I couldn't resist sketching the Alice tied to the dock.

 The funnel on the left was used to grind sardines into fish meal before Lovrics bought the property.

 Exploring further one day I found this wooden sailboat on one of the smaller docks.

 Besides boats there were a lot of older trucks and machinery scattered around the property.

 Over the summer I saw many of same workers and thought I would include some of them.

 One morning my "find" was this barge totally loaded with stuff.

 Someone brought in half a boat on a trailer and was working on it.  It takes a lot of paint to paint a big boat!

 This fantail-era boat appeared in late summer.  It has a huge hole in it just above waterline.

I saved the party barge that we found one day for last and put Mt. Baker behind it for fun.

Take Three at Lovric's

Well, it took me three tries to sketch this scene at Lovric's.  La Merced was brought to the shipyard in 1966.  The four-masted schooner was built in WW1 .  The 232 foot ship is now full of sand and trees and is used for breakwater on the west side to protect the marina from currents.

Ship's cabin from Lovrics

Janice's Sketches from Lovric's

 Lovric's can be overwhelming with all the boats, buildings, and activity.  I decided to paint this huge old processor.  I just go the bow and part of the cabin.

When I was sketching the wheelhouse of the orange and white workboat, I was saving the Guemes shoreline for last.  Then this huge barge came in with the crew yelling commands at each other to land the boat.  So much for Guemes' shoreline in the background!!

Boat Practice at Lovric's

We are so lucky to be able to sketch at Lovric's Sea Craft in Anacortes.  It is a working marina full of activity.  We have watched tankers being pulled in and docked, and sign painters painting names on boats.  I'm looking forward to returning next week!
