As we do every October, we gathered at Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery to sketch all their pumpkin and Halloween goodness. The display designs were especially well done this year.
My first sketch was a pile of pumpkins with a crow or raven sculpture.
Next I went out to the back patio to warm up in the sun and sketch the skeleton on a bench, also surrounded by pumpkins. Fortunately I'd already sketched it when an employee walked by and sat him up straight, commenting, "This is Watson's oldest employee".
We had a fun morning to sketch and enjoy a warm beverage and pastry at Java & Clay. There were plenty of subjects to sketch, indoors and through the windows on this chilly fall day.

We gathered at Tacoma's Titlow Park on a chilly, cloud covered morning. Most of us walked across the railroad tracks to the beach side of the park and sketched from a platform there.
The chill, damp, air was not conducive to watercolor drying so I had two sketches going at once. First is a view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Next was one of a group of cormorants on the pier.
I wandered back to the park but first stopped to sketch the display of very large skeletons in a traffic circle.
