Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test. It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable. Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.
First Saturday, July 4th: nothing scheduled due to holiday. __________________________________________________________________________ Second Thursday, July 9: Narrows Park 1502 Lucille Parkway, Gig Harbor, WA 98335
Meet at 10:00 in the parking lot. From the upper level, there is a small, covered picnic shelter with views of the bridge. There will be a short, a bit steep, walk down the hill to sea level. This park offers scenic views of the bridge, a small creek and waterfront access. Portable toilets are located at one corner of the parking lot. We will be partnering with the Peninsula Art League Plein Aire painters. ___________________________________________________________________________
Lunch is planned for 12:30 ish. There are not many spots open on Mondays, so packing a lunch could be a good idea. However, we have a 2pm appointment to meet the Viking Ship Master to sketch this ship.  ______________________________________________________ Third Wednesday, July 15: Holy Rosary Church 507 S 30th St, Tacoma, WA 98402 Meet at 10 am in the parking area at front of the church. By special request, we'll meet to sketch this historic, yet threatened, church. There is parking around and the church could even be sketched from your car if the weather doesn't cooperate. There are no services (food, toilet, etc). The surrounding fence does not significantly obstruct the view.  Ad Hoc Friday, July 24: Bonsai Garden at 4pm 2515 S 336th Street, Federal Way, WA 98001 From staff at the Garden in an invitation email to us: In July, we’ll be keeping the Museum open late on Friday evenings until 7 PM. From about 4–7 PM, the grounds are filled with this incredible, soft evening light—it transforms the bonsai in a way that feels almost magical and makes for a really unique painting experience.
We would love to invite you to come paint onsite during any of these
evenings. It’s meant to be a relaxed, inspiring environment for artists
to engage with the trees and the space in their own way. We’re also
planning to incorporate a one-hour wellness offering
each Friday, creating an even more restorative and creative atmosphere
throughout the evening. Meet at 4pm outside the garden entrance. Entrance is free but donations are welcome.  Upcoming: First Saturday, August 1: Stadium High School
