As a retired lettering artist and illustrator, I still create a lot of visuals and have fun doing it. My website is a place I can post and share them from my Shoreline, Washington studio in my home.

Cabins on Beaches: Samish Island Shed

November 23, 2025

Did I need a deep plunge into a new blog site, right when such a time-consuming challenge really didn’t fit into my crowded calendar? The answer, no surprise, is “no” but at least I was able to navigate the mind-befuddling process of transferring the data from my old platform to this new, AI-enhanced version of good ol’ WordPress. My previous experience of working on good ol’ WordPress wasn’t stellar, so I’m hoping to improve my relationship with it asap. So far I have been able to upload my seasonally appropriate squash painting! But now, HOW do I get rid of “Hello World!” which was placed there by Good Ol. I’m not sure about this, but I think Good Ol’s default tips will stay on this, my First Post until I figure out how to discretely remove them without being told “This is not a good idea.” At least I got my squash up on this new site for your viewing pleasure! Happy Thanksgiving :-).

It has been such a summer pleasure, throughout my life, to spend time friends who have cabins on the waters of Puget Sound. One such friend has a small complex of cabins and a shed up on Samish Island, north of La Conner, WA. As a novice oil painter, I decided to pack up my paints and a canvas board to find something to paint at this marvelous place. Here you see my efforts, begun on site and completed at home with the aid of a photo I took that day.

    Really nice, Jocelyn!
    I see that you posted this back in August! I guess I haven’t taken a look at your blog in awhile…
