This month's exhibit at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts Gallery includes 5” x 5” watercolors from my time in Norway for my 2022 artist-in-residency with Starlight and Storm. Located on the island of Arnøya, Singla is a historic homestead that includes assorted outbuildings including a boathouse.

Quentin Blake: How I Draw. “I do a freewheeling sort of drawing that looks as though it is done on the spur of the moment. However even a single drawing needs a certain amount of preparation and planning.” [kottke.org]

My Washington State Ferry Artist-in-Residency wrapped up on Sunday! I had so much fun; everyone was incredibly friendly and gracious. It was a joy to be on board and learning more about the WA State Ferry vessels, crew, and passengers. On Sunday, I gave a little sketching demo.

Very much enjoying a little ferry studio space this week, thank you to the @wastateferries crew for having me onboard!

Prepping paper for my residency on the Port Townsend-Coupeville ferry starting tomorrow. I prefer to tear down large sheets and plan to prep plenty of extra.
