Blissful warm day at Spoiled Dog Winery

What another wonderful summer day we had at Spoiled Dog Winery.  I settled down under the shade of the trees with Dave, Fred? and Cynthia and sketched Fred enjoying the warm summer day.  It seems as a kid I used to do this all the time, but adulthood and busy, busy has claimed my time, EXCEPT for Friday afternoons.  This was bliss followed by wine tasting and chatting.  Yum!
Here's Fred....

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.

New to Langley, but an admirer of the Sketchers for a long time, I joined the Sketchers for a day of drizzle, chilly breezes, and a whole lot of fun.  Here's my first blog entry!!  This could be habit forming....  plus, the wine was excellent. That's fellow Sketchers Mary on the left & Sherryl on the right in their little lawn chairs.
