Thank you to Chris and Jude for welcoming the Sketchers into their fastastical dwelling where very surface and object is artful and fascinating.

The talent and workmanship is overwhelming.

Baby Island, Spoiled Dog Winery, and Chris and Jude's Home

Okay, so I'm getting caught up with past sketches now that my printer and computer are finally talking to each other once again. On 5-18-12 I had the pleasure of sitting in this cozy kitchen and getting to know this gorgeous stove. Also I was sitting next to the coffee and goodies that our most gracious hostess provided for us.

So now I have the pleasure of sitting in another amazing Whidbey home. This hand crafted jewel was a delight everywhere I looked. I was captured by this sunny spot overlooking the shipping lanes, the mountains, and fabulous nature. I can imagine cuddling up in this chair reading and gazing. Chris said it looked like there is a racoon sleeping in the chair. I think this sketch will lead to a full on oil painting. I might just put that raccoon there.

Obviously not in chronological order, but nevertheless I'm posting. This is a good thing. A chilly, misty, sunny, lovely day at the Spoiled Dog Winery for this one. My first day back for sketching after a long break. It's so good to be back.
