Fort Worden, Port Townsend, Washington

House at Fort Worden pen and ink 5" X 8''


On one of my journeys' to the west coast, I ended up spending a week at the hostel in Fort Worden State Park seeking solitude and relaxation. I was in great need of rest after having spent a wild week in Seattle drinking, partying and avoiding fights. I was in much need of a quiet, peaceful place for a while and old military barracks and fort provided the perfect place.

Shown here is a black and white drawing of one of the nicer houses on the old military base. It is an unusual but attractive blend of castle and house. It is one of favorite drawings from my travel around the west.
