Old Boat

Yesterday the Patchogue Sketch Club met at the Maritime Museum in Sayville to sketch in the evening.   I sketched one of the old boats there...not quite seaworthy...but it floats!
You can always find something interesting there to sketch.
This was done in my Stillman & Birn Alpha Sketchbook.

  2. Old boats have so much character, don't they? Love the way you've painted the inlet as well. Gorgeous natural setting and not cluttered with ship materials and gravel, tools and cars.

  5. It's such a delight to see a plein air painting from an artist who does get outside. In this part of the woods, the weather has not been inviting this summer. Boats are quite challenging and you did a wonderful job. Happy painting Joan.
