On Saturday I headed out east on the north fork of Long Island to Jamesport.

I parked next to a flower farm and did two small sketches in my Stillman & Birn Journal.

First I did a display of spring plants.

Next I sketched the building and some of the plants outside.

Today marks the beginning of International Fake Journal Month which was created 

by Roz Stendahl. 

This is the third year I am participating by creating a "fake journal."

My theme this year is an imaginary road trip in a chevy convertible. My character will be stopping at a different location each day...which will be 150 miles or less apart.

The entries will be in a new blog I created which can be found at

(For some reason I can't get the link to work, but if you type in the blog address you should be able to reach it. Just in case I will also post the entries here.)

Helen's Field

I love finding fields filled with color. This was done en plein air last week at Helen's Flower  Farm in Riverhead. I asked if I could paint the field and she told me to paint it now, cause it was going to be plowed under after the weekend. This is about 4 x 12.
