Let’s capture that landscape while we can. Hopefully, there will be another opportunity for a spring Paint Out and a possible community show! Quimper Artists will be there, and we invite all artists to join us. There is parking near the area and public bathrooms are at the Port of Port Townsend and the Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park. The trees are on both sides of Sims Way in between the Port of Port Townsend entrance and 123 Thai. See you there!!!!
