Our Sketching Whidbey workshop is filling up. We will have our own little bus to
explore some of Whidbey's remarkable places and sketch. What a great weekend
get away, check it out!  www.whidbeyislandfas.com

Earlier this spring,  shadows crept toward

Mount Baker just north of Whidbey Island.

Further south down the Island is Windjammer
Park in Oak Harbor, with it's Dutch landmark
and own collection of tulips.

And in our backyard, the apple tree is in
full glorious bloom!

 

These are two of several little pocket sketches
I made while spending time with family in
wonderfully warm Houston, Texas. Our
Northwest April  has been a little bit.....cold.
The Broken Obelisk is near the Mark Rothko
Chapel near Montrose. Beautiful, peaceful
oasis.

A Lesson in Patience

Patience? I'm not doing so well waiting for spring, as are the chess
pieces at Bayview Corner on Whidbey...
