Swansons Nursery
has been a favorite location for the Friday sketchers for several years now. A
mainstay during the holidays when it brings in reindeer, camel and Santa, Swansons was also fun last spring. Now we have a new season
to add to our Swansons lineup: Halloween! Decked out in plenty of pumpkins and
fall décor, the north Seattle plant nursery also has adorable Nigerian dwarf
goats and a hay maze.

At the beginning of the meetup, I went over to the goat pen
first and had it nearly to myself. I took advantage of the relative quiet to do
several studies of Tootsie Roll, Buttermilk Pancakes and tiny Mega Man.
Eventually the toddler set took over, so I moved out to
Swansons’ main outdoor retail area. Sunshine broke through the overcast sky, and
it was warm enough to eventually take my jacket off as I sketched the dinosaur
topiary and surrounding greenery. (When we go back in December, I’m guessing we
won’t be as lucky, weather-wise.)
When I went into the café for a break, a toddler at the next
table caught my eye. If I thought the constantly moving dwarf goats were a
challenge to sketch, they couldn’t hold a candle to this little guy, who gave
me about 5 seconds to catch this pose.
