Out of the rain

What a great place to sketch on a wet and rainy northwest day. A few sketchers from Vashon and Tacoma met at the Bass Pro Shop in south Tacoma for USk Tacoma's 3rd Wednesday sketch outing.
The lodge-like setting with it's large stone fireplace, mounted hunting trophy's, realistic dioramas featuring huge outdoor murals, an amazing array of taxidermy,  water features flowing into a large live fish aquarium all add to an overwhelming visual experience. While The Bass Pro Shop provides a dizzying visual experience for the sketcher, one is reminded, this is a retail establishment tempting the visitor at every turn with well displayed product for sale.
After sketching, we gathered near the big stone fireplace for our through-down and group picture, followed by lunch in the on-site restaurant.
