Center for Wooden Boats Sketch

The Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle is a neat place to wander around. It sits in Lake Union Park, a gorgeous park right on the lake. A few weeks ago, I biked from our house to visit my husband who works downtown. On the way back, I made a pit stop to paint at the park. I love looking at all the wooden boats parked there, and hearing the sound of the water lapping against the docks is very nostalgic for this Jersey Shore girl. 😉

Inktober 2015: Day 18

#Inktober Day 18: Yesterday, Karl and I went to The Carlile Room for Seattle Restaurant Week. I’m 50/50 with Tom Douglas restaurants; some have been great, while some I felt were overpriced. I’m happy to say this restaurant was fantastic. The menu offerings were fresh and high quality, and the restaurant had a cozy, cocktail lounge feel decorated with mid-century modern furniture. Definitely worth checking out!

Inktober 2014: Day 11

#Inktober, Day 11: This is a bit of a cheat. I did the pencil sketch yesterday while my husband and I were having lunch at this wonderful little shop in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle called, “The Butcher and the Baker”. I did the inks today so I’m counting it!

Anyway, this place was SO delicious. You can tell there was a lot of care in their dishes and their meats. Highly recommended!
