For my birthday, Katy and I went out to dinner with our good friends Kathleen and John Kingslight. We met at Anthony’s, a swanky restaurant near the ferry terminal in Bremerton, and enjoyed good food and great company. Kathleen is the rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Bremerton, so the couples have a lot in common and we always share lots of laughs.
John and Kathleen kindly gave me a small watercolor sketchbook for my birthday. A couple of days later, I used the sketchbook to make a watercolor painting of St. Paul’s. I emailed a photo of the painting to them to show my appreciation for the sketchbook and for them to use as a graphic for St. Paul’s. It might be used in their bulletin or newsletter or on their website. Everyone likes to see an original sketch of their church.

Perhaps growing into becoming THE church artist.
Ha ha! I don’t really want to spend a lot of time doing these church paintings. But it’s kind of fun doing a few.
Its amazing how blue the blue looks in your painting. It really is beautiful.
Thanks, Guy. I think that a little bit of blue can really make a difference.
