It was the perfect late summer day, between 11am and 1:30pm at
One Spirit Garden
on Whidbey Island. I am grateful to Whidbey Island sketchers for
including me at their weekly meet up for sketching, chatting, laughing
and tea.
There were 19 of us. Some found a spot in the garden or at a table
on the covered deck, while Glo, the owner and her assistant treated us
to a fabulous afternoon of pampering. You two outdid yourselves! Thank
you!

| Sketching during a tea party is an artist's version of time lapse, uh, sketching! |
Then, before catching the ferry home, I dashed over to see the new exhibit at the Bayview Cash Store's farm show,
"When Your Plow is a Paintbrush II" opening that evening, Friday, Sept. 5.

| How great! A farm themed show mounted on chicken wire! |
One more detour to The Goose to pick up the last issue of
Whidbey Life Magazine
in which there's a wonderful article about the Whidbey Island Sketchers
and the current show. (Are you women going to tell your mothers that
you made it to the centerfold at last?)
Incidentally, I made some
origami business card holders to give to fellow sketchers that day, but I ran out! For those who wanted instructions on how to make them,
please follow this link.
