A watercolor sketch I did while on our wedding anniversary trip to Yakima valley. We stayed at a wonderful B & B, Birchfield Manor, where we had a view of the mountains right outside our window.

Fox lunch watercolors
Been behind in posting sketches, but here’s more fox / tea drawings from work lunch sketching. Still need to remind myself it’s 2017. D’oh.
Valentine’s Day dinner drawings
For Valentine’s Day dinner, my husband and I went to The Red Cow located in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle. They served a wide assortment of tapas, followed by a second, main, and dessert. Needless to say we were stuffed! Heartily recommended restaurant!

Subaru 360 Commission
Forgot to post this commission I did back in December for a friend. It was a request of a Subaru 360 for a commemoration party. It wasn’t ultimately used for the event, but it was an interesting challenge considering I don’t draw vehicles enough. I spent some time the month prior trying to understand its form before I hopped to it. It’s still rough, but it was fun to draw.
Honolulu Sketches
Last July, we went to Hawaii for our friends’ wedding and then stayed the week to celebrate my birthday. My sister, who lives in Honolulu, is an amazing hostess and planned a very memorable birthday for me. We hiked up Diamond Head where the park stamp my sketchbook with the “Summit Finisher” stamp. I didn’t finish the sketch of Diamond Head Crater until yesterday (shame on me) though, using reference I photographed while we hiked there.
The 2nd drawing is of Lanikai beach which I did sketch on my birthday. It’s of the mokes (2 islands) and the little reef inbetween where we snorkeled.
The 3rd drawing was drawn at Waimanalo Beach where my husband and I spent the whole day. My sister recommended it as it was quiet and located in a small neighborhood. I saw 2 boats in the sand and thought it would be a fun challenge. The real the challenge, however, was the humidity that made both inking and watercoloring difficult.
The 4th drawing was at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. I learned so much about pineapples. I especially had no idea how they looked out in the wild or the fact there were so many kinds.
Ruby Crowned Kinglet
We recently moved to a new office and my desk is now next to the window. The first day working there, I saw this really cute, brightly colored looking sparrow-type bird. According to the Internet, it’s a ruby crowned kinglet. The more I look at this drawing, tho, maybe it was a different bird…
