Shabby French

We  enjoyed another afternoon sketching at the Shabby French Market.  Frank hug-out in the hall and practiced his perspective drawing.  Great job, all!

Sketching and Music

We always love sketching at the Shabby French Market in the Keystone Building.  We were inspired by the music and the many interesting things to sketch.

The Shabby French Market

It felt so very French with 1940's jazz and pop tunes on the air. I turn a corner and there's a picture on the wall in a little alcove. It's a sepia photograph of a carriage driving down the wide dirt street of Commercial Avenue in 1910 and the Keystone Building is on the corner. That building now has a shop called The Shabby French Market, the perfect place to sketch on a rainy autumn afternoon.

The Keystone Building then (1910) and now. 

I spent a wonderful day downstairs with the Anacortes Sketchers, drifting through time from one spot to another on a journey of discovery.
