The Street You Should've Grown Up On


Linda, another new sketching buddy, met me for lunch in Port Townsend today. She had a friend with a historic home near Chetzemoka Park, so we drove up there and wandered the street near the friend's house.  I dropped my pack, opened up my new REI campstool, and began sketching yet another heartbreakingly sweet neighborhood in PT.  It was a perfect day for it.  Wait....do you see faces in the tree branches?

    1. Thanks, Carrie, and thanks for commenting! Yes, after living in the state for nearly 35 years, I still think this is a slice of Heaven. Endless opportunity for fun sketches! Will you be coming back to visit Washington in the future?

  2. It's been years since I visited Port Townsend. I remember loving it there, stayed in the hostel on a military base! Charming, arty town! And your art here is as well!

    1. What a great memory, Lynn! I have never stayed at Ft. Worden, but we often go hiking in the hills around there, or hang out on the beach. Thanks for the comment, Lynn, I'd like to order your book!
