WISkers @ the SOUTH WHIDBEY COMMONS COFFEEHOUSE

The WISkers met at the South Whidbey Commons for four hours of sketching in the warmth of the glorious spring sunshine . . . . . .

WISkers @ the COMPASS ROSE, Coupeville

In the 1890's Victorian home as invited guests of Captain and Mrs. Marshall Bronson.  They open their home to visitors to Whidbey Island and Coupeville as the Compass Rose Bed and Breakfast.  So much to sketch!  Just the kitchen window alone was a feast for the eyes!  So, "To crop  . . . . . 

" . . . .  or not to crop.  That is the question."

WISkers @ STUDIO 106, Langley

During Langley's "Mystery Weekend" the Sketchers met at PHYLLIS RAY's wonderful studio, Studio 106, on Main Street in Langley (right next to this little shed) to sketch and chat with the Mystery Weekenders wandering through town.

Sketcher SHERRYL GOLDFINGER. wore her hat for the occasion and sat in repose for sketching.

MYSTERY WEEKEND cast members Benton Payne and Stella Payne also stopped in and sat for their portraits.
