Schneider's Farm

 My friend, Suzala and I went sketching at @schneidersfarmmelville. It is a small place without much shade, but they were welcoming and we made it work. This was sketched from a little bit of shade behind the farm stand. My thanks to the Schneider staff for being so nice.

Schneiders Farm

Last week I was in Melville and checked to see if there was anything interesting around to sketch. I found Schneiders Farm which had some interesting buildings and trucks. 

Inktober - Day 14 - Protest & Hoptron Brewtique

The activist in me surfaced for a while today. Some organizations here on Long Island joined together to do a "Stop the War on Women - The Handmaid's Resist & Rally" in Melville. We had a drizzly start to the day so when it stopped raining I went over early for the rally and sketched the people arriving for my Inktober Day 14 sketch. People were asked to wear red shirts and some people were in red capes like in the show "A Handmaid's Tale." It was good to see some men and children at the rally. #inktober #inktober2017

On Wednesday evening some of the members of the Patchogue Sketch Club went to the Hoptron Brewtique in Patchogue to sketch. Wednesday is a slow night for them so they didn't mind us commandering a large table and staying for a while to sketch. We did have either beer or hard cider as well as snacks. I sketched some of the people standing up at the bar.

Church

On Saturday my friend and I made one more stop for a sketch. This is the Presbyterian Church of Sweet Hollow. Isn't that a pretty name? It is in Melville.
