Longtime Whidbey residents Miriam and Phil extended the Whidbey Sketchers an invitation to visit their charming Victorian Painted Lady-style home outside Langley for an afternoon of sketching, lemonade, garden touring and conversation. What an astonishing place!
Welcoming you, the house is gracious and imposing.
But, it's not until you pass through the clematis laden arbor and enter the back garden that you get the full effect. Here you find the charming gazebo, and inside a table Marian has laid out for tea in front of one of Phil's charming pieces of rustic furniture filled with some of their collectibles.
Beyond the Gazebo, through the rustic gate, the yard opens to a magnificent, sweeping view of the waters of Saratoga Passage, Hat Island, Everett, and the Cascade Mountains.
We felt welcomed to make ourselves at home and sketch to our hearts content.
Thank you Phil and Marian, for for being such gracious hosts and allowing us to share your remarkable accomplishments here on our island!
