Boat Rental

My plein air group, PALS made it's annual visit to Silly Lily's Fishing Station recently. I liked the fun boat rental shack, although it wasn't open.

 

Silly Lily Colors

 My plein air group went down to the Silly Lily Fishing Station in Center Moriches last week. Between the yellow building and the colorful boat I was in heaven.

Beached at Silly Lily

 I took a ride to Silly Lily Fishing Station in East Moriches. Right now they are actually closed so all the boats are beached and many are shrink-wrapped. The rowboats are just overturned...not covered. The docks are pulled in too. Even with all that I can always find something to sketch there. I wonder who Lily is and if she is actually silly...

Back to Silly Lily

 I always enjoy painting and sketching at Silly Lily's Fishing Station in East Moriches. I think the bright yellow building just makes me smile. This is another sketch done in the book of sketches for the art project I'm doing. I just have a few more left to do.

Silly Lily Paintings

On Saturday a friend of mine wanted to go out painting. She has her own business creating custom draperies, etc. and is always super busy lately so we haven't painted together in months. With another friend we decided to head over to the Silly Lily Fishing Station in East Moriches. I always enjoy painting there and the building really brightens up the day. There were a lot of people who came out to rent boats and we laughed because some of them were dressed more for cocktails on a deck than climbing into a rowboat or small motor boat. For some reason I don't think a silk shirt constitutes boating attire. lol

It was such a beautiful day that I did another painting, this time of one of their boats...yellow of course.

 

Order Here

Last Tuesday my plein air group went to Silly Lilly's Fishing Station in East Moriches. I love their bright yellow color on their buildings. The buoys and their shadows attracted me.

Boatyard

 It seems like I can find some kind of boat every time I turn around. These were at the Silly Lily Fishing Station in East Moriches.

Boarded Up

 I took a ride the other day down to East Moriches which is about a half hour away. That's where the Silly Lily Marina is located. It is a fun place to sketch because it is so colorful and there are lots of boats around. This time almost all the boats were in drydock for the winter and the building itself was closed for the season and boarded up. It still had some charm so I sat and sketched the building. When I first started sketching over there the buildings were a little derelict. Then Hurricane Sandy came through and they rebuilt a lot of it.
