I love taking the ferry to different islands here in the Northwest. It's like a mini vacation less than an hour away. Coming into the dock I always try to have my camera ready to take a few shots and do a very quick sketch. For some reason, the food is delicious and the coffee tastes better and it's because the difference in your routine changes a little. So, if you are not, close to the water to take a little boat ride, try going a different direction, try a Chai, different restaurant than your favorite and most of all, try a big smile. Who knows, someone might smile back because you've made their day.
This little 8x10 Oil is one of three that will be going to Tsuga Fine Art Gallery in Bothell, WA next week for the miniature holiday show. If you are in the neighborhood the show opens November 30th and you might find a gift or two.
