The Lodge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artists need an aesthetically-pleasing place to work, and we think we have one. The Lodge is an all-natural red-cedar home and studio, no paint inside or out. Since we often frequent old National Park lodges on mural projects, we appreciate the honest craftsmanship of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The squirrels, on the other hand, have other ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We live near to the mouth of the Chimacum Creek Estuary on Port Townsend Bay – so we called our business, Estuary Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist in the studio. I’ve always preferred small and warm painting spaces, but when bigger projects arrive, there’s a huge studio in town we move to that can handle 30-footers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Careful, careful, that’s a 200-lb black-tailed buck there. Nancy both complains and brags that nature is really in charge here –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elephant Seal yearling hauled out in downtown Port Townsend. Just a couple of hundred feet away from the gallery both Nancy and Larry show in, this guy needed a month to molt – so here he choose to do it. Elephant seals are endangered critters, but this guy didn’t seem to care.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>Cougar tracks near our studio. While we’ve not seen one in our meadow, Nancy spotted one of the big cats just down the lane in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n
