Andrews Farm

With all my Inktober sketches and travel sketches I have quite a few things I did a while ago that weren't posted yet (or I don't think they were) like this painting done at Andrews Farm. The Andrews family has such a wonderful place and they are always willing to let us come and paint or sketch there. I usually paint the views outside, but Debby had this inside section set up so nicely I just had to paint it. Doesn't all that fresh produce look tempting? I never leave without buying some of her veggies and fruit. This is 8 x 10.

Inktober - Day 22

I am on the road right now heading to Texas. We are going to visit some friends down there, make a stop in Nashville on the way back, and finally visit family in Georgia before heading back home. So my sketching and painting may not be as prolific as usual. lol Maybe tomorrow I'll do a little painting while Jerry is driving.
My Inktober #22 sketch was done yesterday down along the water in Patchogue and I finished it just before it started to rain. We hardly had any rain the entire summer but that's how our road trip started today...rain from home until the middle of Pennsylvania. Right now we are in Roanoke, Va where it is much colder than I expected!!!

Inktober - Day 12 - Andrews Farm

These were both done at Andrews Farm in Wading River. They have always been so welcoming to artists who come to sketch or paint. I did the ink-only sketch first starting with the umbrella because I just knew Denise would come an open it before I was done. Sure enough she did open the umbrella and moved around the gooseneck squash that look like a pile of large worms. lol

Next I pulled out my watercolors because the scene was just crying out for color. Of course the open red umbrella just sets it off nicely.
