Train to Tacoma


    We met with about thirty other sketchers in Tacoma around the Museum of Glass this past weekend. The site was awash with architectural gems to draw....heaven!

 I found myself a nice open plaza with a great view of all of these interesting architectural shapes. The contrast of modern bold shapes with reflective surfaces and old bold shapes with arches and architectural details and patinated surfaces was a visual delight.

There was so much that was visually stimulating that this panorama just moved from one great shape to the next.

After a full day out sketching in Tacoma there was only a little bit of energy to do some sketching on the train.

  1. Deb, these are wonderful and your panorama is jaw-droppingly stunning! I'm so glad I got to see them in person, but wish I had been looking over your shoulder while you drew in your accordion book.

  2. Thank you both. When I got home the images and possibilities seen through others drawings kept going through my head and I wanted to be back there again drawing....what a great place!
