Library Guys

What a hub of activity the Freeland Library was on Friday. Dozens of people of all ages were making use of the library resources - it was a model of community vitality. And a truly happening place!

A guy with a long gray beard AND a funky hat? Of course, I drew him.

I thought this guy was very interesting. Everything about him said "Grandpa", except that prominent hoop earring! I was getting too hungry to sketch by the time I got to him and didn't have the strength to draw the details. Added color and finished it up over appetizers at China City.

Friday at The Freeland Library

So many people and interesting things to sketch. I chose just two in the short 2 hours I was there today.

Museum Sketching

Visited The Frye Museum in Seattle last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the Gabriel von Max exhibit.  I could only sketch in the exhibit using a museum-supplied golf pencil - dull of course.  At first I was cranky about that, but after doing a couple of pencil sketches, I decided I should pull out my #2B more often!

  

The Magnolia Big Band

The Magnolia Big Band playing their great music and taking a break at the bar at the Anchor Pub. What a fun time for all.

This is our friend, Max. The Sketchers who went to the Anchor Pub were lucky enough to meet him.

Red Wagon

More Sherman Farm pumpkins.....

Play That Funky Music White Boy

Who knew you could have so much fun in Langley? Three sketchers hit the town on Halloween looking for something scary to draw and stumbled upon a fabulous party at Ott & Murphy's Wine Bar. Tim Donovan rocked the house. At one point I noticed someone across the room sketching us as we were sketching them -an off-island sketcher.

Halloween at Mo's, where things were much tamer.
