Lovely weather calls for park time. Went to Kubota Garden with urban sketchers and then the UW Arboretum for more. The sun brings everyone out.

Went yesterday with friends to the Amazon Spheres. It is the good life in there, leaving me with mixed feelings.
Such beauty, such care for the plants and humans within. At the same time, such a privilege, unearned and undeserved.

Joined 14,000 of my closest friends at the #handsoff protest at the Seattle Center today, then treated myself to a sketch of magnolias. Truly a glorious day!

Beautiful day at the #UWQuad with #urbansketchers Seattle. I have as much fun sketching the tree trunks as I do the #cherryblossoms! And then the people watching can't be beat as well. 😊😊🌸🌸🌸

A small watercolor based on a photo from our road trip to the NWmost place in the lower 48 Cape Flattery. The rain cleared for the time of our hike. It. Was. GORGEOUS.

A great day at Tacoma's Museum of Glass with Shambhavi. So much fun to sketch the artists at work in the hot shop, and then pieces in the galleries.

Fun with my Arting with Friends group. Joined today by Anu, Shambhavi and Kate to sketch the no. 215 prompt from Phine and Megi on Sketch with Me Sunday. Am loving the combo of watercolors with watercolor pencils.

#sketchwithsuhita Hold on to your hats! Draw as fast as you can for a madcap hour through the streets of India!
First: fude pen. Next: grabbed some color in the foreground with my watersoluble art crayons. Finish: a watercolor wash for buildings and trees.
Suhita Shirodikar is a genius to follow!

A great Street View World Tour with Eleanor Doughty and Jenny Adam. Demo artist today was Koosje Koene, and it was a touch of spring & summer sunshine to go to Lisbon on Google Street View from this unusual snow day in Seattle.
Throwback to the Lisbon Wow workshop last year. All those stairs.... 🫠

More fun with #ArtingWithFriends tonight. The theme was PETS, and we went with a pic from Recovery-Realty.com.
Love this biweekly time with my buds.

Read this in one sitting!!! (And, no, reading until 2am is NOT sustainable 😂)
Recommended by Barbara Kingsolver and was NOT disappointed. A must read for those who care for young children, or those who have them under their roof.

Took an afternoon to ride the ferry to Bainbridge Island and back. Needed that salt-water boost, I suppose.
I've missed painting outside during these chilly months.
