Betty's Colorful Views of Guemes Island

Betty Rayle sure achieved her trademark color and energy in these two sketches from our Whidbey Island Sketchers field trip to Guemes Island today.  Here's the view from Tom's front porch.

And here are the colorful flowers at Anderson's General Store where we all enjoyed a couple of hours sketching before heading out for a tour of Guemes by Sue's friend, Tom.

Greenbank Store Front

We were excited to have local artist and vintner, Betty Rayle, join our little group at the Greenbank Store. She sketched this whimsical and charming image of the front of the store, looking out the front door to the gas pumps. Great fun. Thank you Betty!
