Skansie Net Shed

We went out to Gig Harbor to meet at the Skansie Net Shed.  One of our number arranged to gain entrance so we had the run of the shed all morning.  My first sketch was from the deck, looking back into the shed.



It was a perfect day... sunny, warm enough but with a nice breeze.  I sat on the dock of the marina and sketched the view of the shed from the beach.







There was about 15 minutes left.  So I splashed together a sketch of the Fisherman's Memorial.



Then we met to share sketches and a group photo.
