Penelope’s Place, Eugene, OR

     It’s always such a treat to go to another artist’s home. Today we were invited to Penelope’s, and appreciated it’s charm – here’s Erik & Jan getting the kitchen tour from Penelope (note the biscotti), and Barb S-N and Ken appreciating Penelope’s grandfather’s painting.

    Two of the Barbs (So & S-N) look over Tricia’s sketchbook, then Barbs A & So get treated to a sample of sketch borders by Penelope.

     Jan was immediately intrigued with the design on a sofa pillow, and captured the design as well as the warmth & charm of the room.

           Barbs A & So were intrigued with the design on a bowl, while Jane sketched an orchid & bird on the table (color yet to be added).

     Erik got lost in thought as Ken & Barb S-N chatted. But wait….

Erik’s fingers flew into action to capture this friendly scene.

Here’s the crew today: Erik, Ken, Jane, Barb A, Jan, Barb S-N, Barb So, and Tricia – all thanks to our hostess, Penelope, taking the photo.

And here’s Penelope with the gang, thanks to Ken.

In addition to the yummy biscotti & coffee, the warm fellowship, doing interesting sketches, Penelope also gave a demonstration of how she uses computer software to create delightful tiny books. All in all, it was a memorable time!
