Leavenworth, WA, USA - New Year 2015

Happy New Year! 2015 already - wow. My Adventure in nearly over!

Well - for new year, we travelled to Leavenworth. A little bavarian town, in the Cascase Mountains of Washington in the United States of America.

What a place. WHAT A PLACE! A winter wonderland, which has definately got me interested in a new bunch of surface patterns. So today, a day after i return to Canada, I am drawing. There were quotes of adventure all over the hotel, skis mounted on fireplaces, the attention to detail in the decor here was completely amazing. I would 100% recommend this little getaway in the winter!

Here are some photographs of my adventure.

We visited Red Tail Canyon Farm for a horse drawn sleigh ride, and hot chocolate in the Teepee after. Lovely!

The view from our hotel, over the villiage square. At night, you forget you're in the mountains, because they are in darkness! 

A sketch i created this morning just from a few photographs. I can definately see this place becoming inspiration for at least 7 surface prints. This quote was on a plaque in our rooms, and its thrown about alot, but its fitting in this little villiage a long way from home :)
