I joined other Plein Air Washington Artists at Fishermen’s Terminal in Seattle today. It involved getting up early and driving to Bainbridge Island, taking the ferry to Seattle, then the bus to Fishermen’s Terminal. I got there in plenty of time to meet other painters and start painting.
There are hundreds of boats to paint, with lots of colorful compositions available. I chose the Fishing Vessel Admiral and made a watercolor. Luckily I got it done quickly, because the boat moved shortly after I finished. Then I painted two seine skiffs moored between two larger vessels, but my painting was muddy and belabored.
Several of us ate lunch together in the terminal building breezeway, then I made another painting of a seine boat. I was tired by this time. I walked back to the bus stop, caught the bus to Seattle and the ferry terminal and got home in time for dinner. It was a good day of painting with painter friends.
