My location yesterday morning for Paint the Great South Bay was the Fire Island Ferry in Sayville. There was a fair amount of activity but people kept moving around. I sketched the people first knowing it wouldn't be long before they would board the ferry and be gone. I knew the buildings weren't going anywhere.
Here's what it looked like after my models left.
New people started to arrive for the next scheduled ferry as I kept on painting.
Here is the finished painting.
Then last evening the artists were invited to paint from the rooftop of the Village Walk, a new assisted living facility that opened in Patchogue. They provided dinner for us too. It was nice on the rooftop but there wasn't a lot of room and there were limited views. We all had fun.

Really like the painting of Fire Island ferry riders. Great tip on where to start first for that scene.
