There was beautiful blue sky and the temperature was 58 degrees (F) in the afternoon. After a few morning errands, I ate the lunch I’d packed at Petrovitsky Park and sketched my view from the car. The grass on the baseball field was being mowed so I had my first Spring scent of fresh mowed grass.

A county Sheriff pulled up next to me, got out, walked around to my car and glanced in. I suddenly got a bit nervous though I was, of course, doing nothing wrong. He walked on by over to the park restroom.
Then I drove around the area and discovered a small lake I never knew was there. On the dock at the boat launch were two men fishing. The view of Mt. Rainier was perfect. What a beautiful spot!




It was a gorgeous day, wasn’t it! I’m happy to see you were inspired by that sunshine.
Hi Kate! Would be great to see you at Urban Sketchers Vancouver sometime! I know about that great workshop with Frank and Gail, but I will be on a trip then. Thanks for all your positive comments on my blog. I love your sketches above, you really caught the green water. Washington State is so beautiful.
