Cloudstone Sculpture Park

So little time, so much to see and paint.  We need to return, it's a spectacular experience.

These are gazillion gallon tanks suspended in the air at the entrance to Cloudstone Park.

Makes me think its a snake?

Cloudstone Sculpture Park
Hank Nelson, Sculptor

The Sketchers found another precious place on Whidbey Island .... Hank Nelson's Cloudstone Sculpture Park.  Acres of large granite sculptures, rusted metal sculptures, installation landscapes, unbelievable!
This piece sits on a mound of large stone chips, and is surrounded by beautiful old trees.  Golly ... how tall is it?  5'?  6'?  Wish I'd measured ..... maybe next time.  We definitely want to return ... perhaps for a whole day.  Couldn't possibly begin to do the place justice in a single afternoon.
Thank you, Hank, for allowing us to wander and sketch around your Sculpture Park.

Sketching at Cloudstone

Another spectacular day in the sunshine. Another "target rich environment" - so MUCH to see and sketch that it was hard to choose just one thing. Here are the three I did - a beautiful red bronze against the brilliant blue sky, up on the top of the hill; the little stucco and log cabin back down at the main gate; and, just before I left, one of a trio of large "sculpture bugs" crawling along a pile of rusty oil barrels. A great day, and I didn't even stay for the happy hour after!
