Painting at Gordon Skagit Farms
October 9, 2013
Yesterday I took a drive to the Skagit Valley to meet up with some women friends for a few hours of painting at Gordon Skagit Farms. This was my second trip to Gordon’s, which is open only during the month of October, and I hope to make it an annual tradition. I’ll write more about Gordon Skagit Farms in my next two posts, but for today, I will share the experience of making art with friends. The setting couldn’t be more convivial — Eddie Gordon displays his own paintings around the farm (quite an inspiration), we’re in the glorious countryside, and the sheer variety of pumpkins, gourds, and squashes is mind-boggling.

Great people that create a wonderful farm. Eddie posted a photo of one of your groups sketch’s to the Gordon Skagit Farm facebook page.

Thank you. That was Nancy’s painting. It was a fun place to paint outdoors.

Oh, there are times when I wish I had some artistic talent, a group to create with and a place like this to go to! But that’s not my talent, so I’ll stop with the envying and just enjoy what you show us. Beautiful, all.

Great to have so portable a medium! Wonderful sketches and photos, and I love the artwork adorning the side of the barn!
