Boat Rental

My plein air group, PALS made it's annual visit to Silly Lily's Fishing Station recently. I liked the fun boat rental shack, although it wasn't open.

 

Seating on the Porch

 This was painted in Yaphank at the Hawkins House. I painted there once before but on the other side of the porch. The two sides are very similar. I used watercolor pencils for the texture of the wicker.

View to the Marina

 We have a lot of canals and marinas locally. This was across the water in Patchogue.

Sayville Farmers Market

I stopped by the Sayville Farmers Market last Saturday. I sketched a view of this vendor with her bread products from the back. The view from the back seems to work well there. She sold out by the time the market closed. 

House and Flowers

 Direct watercolor done in Sayville near the Sayville Maritime Museum.

Pool Sketch

 I finally pulled out my regular sketchbook and did a sketch by the pool directly in ink.

East Moriches Sunflower Field

 My plein air group, PALS, visits this wonderful sunflower field in East Moriches every year. The owner of the field has his workers come and plant sunflowers every year for the community to enjoy. He has the field fenced in so the deer don't get inside and last year started leaving buckets with sunflower bouquets for the public to take for free. I guess that keeps the public from wandering in and cutting the flowers at random. Each year I try to find a different perspective to use for my painting.
