Sketching a Library Book at the Freeland Library

We met today in the meeting room of the Freeland Library - a very comfortable way to sketch and socialize. Just inside are the stacks, and all the reference information we could want to paint a "forgery", find a gorgeous photo, or, in my case, happen on the terrific book by John M. Marzluff, illustrated by Tony Angell, from the University of Washington, which has everything you've ever wanted to know about Crows and Ravens. A definitive work about a definitive study of the cultural of these amazing birds. Fascinating!
I cribbed some of the foliage outside for a colorful still life, just because I could. 

Crows & Spooky town

Hello all,
I'm rushing this onto the web tonight because the next week is crazy.  We had a wonderful day sketching in Langley and then Happy Hour or more at Sherryl's comfy home.  Sharen Heath has done it again, with the most fun and creative front yard in Langley.  Langley has a kind of crow thing going on and we attribute it to Sharen's wonderful Tim Leonard crows.  Enjoy!
