Georgetown neighborhood in Seattle

I took the ferry to Seattle to join about 18 others from the Northwest Watercolor Society to paint the Georgetown neighborhood in Seattle. It’s a very old part of Seattle that was almost lost to industrialization but has been rejuvenated with an influx of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. Very hip.

We gathered at All City Coffee at 9:30 and spread out to paint. I started with a lovely old building with arched windows and entries. Then I painted a quick sketch of All City Coffee. At noon we all gathered for the “throwdown”, where we laid out our paintings on the sidewalk for all to admire. I met several new friends. What fun!
