I’m not a Seattle resident but I use SPL’s services almost every day. Happy to hear this vote is going so well.

The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.

The same landscape, painted three years apart. One done in studio, one done on site. Upper Royal Basin has always been one of my favorite paintings, so I was happy to get back up there this weekend and sketch it from life. #OlympicNationalPark #pleinair #watercolor #painting #travelsketch

I have been so blown away by the reception to my #Jimothy artwork! I just got the next batch of art from my printer and new orders will ship out tomorrow! You can still order cards here: shelbypothier.com/product/jimo... #Seattle #watercolor #JimothytheRaccoon

I made a few cards and prints featuring #Jimothy to spread the magic he's stirred up at tonight's Ridgecrest art walk. I was amazed at the outpouring of excitement and had so many wonderful conversations with his fans. We all hope he has no idea he is famous and remains free. #seattle #watercolor

I'm finally uploading my take on #Jimothy, Seattle's adorable and favorite new cryptid. He's perfect just the way he is, and he thinks you are too. #watercolor #jimothytheraccoon

I finally got up to Oyster Dome for the very first time yesterday and got to do a little sketching! It was my first "real" hike since destroying my foot (spraining a bunch of toes) a month and a half ago, and woof. I gotta get out on the trails more. #hiking #pnw #sketchbook #watercolor

Raffi you’re so right

I like to add these neurographic sketches to my sketchbooks sometimes. It's a quick and easy way to get a pebble effect with a few wavy lines and some layers of paint. #watercolor #sketchbook #art

I don't think I'm done with this sketch yet, but I like where it is right now. It's so loose, and the color palette feels different from what I normally use. I'll probably come back to it later to add more layers and detail but for now, I like this. #sketchbook #pnw #watercolor #northcascades

Sitting at the pub this afternoon, drinking lemon lavender shrubs, and practicing my set up for Edmonds Sketcher Fest this weekend. I'm gonna stick with the split primary palette, my favorite travel brushes, and this newish sketchbook. #sketchbook #watercolor #uskseattle

Ok so in my realization that I need to share more than just @skyrdle.com results, here's a loose sketch from a photo of Mount Rainier in the fall. I've been focusing on practicing with the split primary color palette, and also having fun with these fluorescent crayons. #watercolor #pnw #sketchbook

Ok I have been playing @skyrdle.com instead of Wordle but did Wordle today anyway for some reason and I just have to share this.... Wordle 1,846 2/6 🟩🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
