Bridge Repairs

Memorial Day and beach season are nearly upon us and the bridges to both beaches that I tend to go to are being repaired. I was able to sketch the bridge that connects Smith Point Beach to the mainland from the parking lot. I loved that I was able to see the big, yellow crane next to the bridge. They have been narrowing down the traffic to one lane open, so traffic is halted either going or coming there. Since this is the only car access to the beach as well as the campground there, it is really important that the bridge is repaired and stays open. I hope the finish the work soon.

I would love to sketch the work being done at the Robert Moses Bridge, but there is no place that I can see where I can legally park and see the work being done.

View from Smith Point Marina

 It was a drizzly day but I wanted to get another sketch done for the sketchbook project. I sat in my mobile studio at the Smith Point Marina and painted the view looking toward the Smith Point Bridge.

Inktober Day 14 - Smith Point Bridge

 I headed over to Smith Point Beach in Shirley and sketched the grasses and shrubs along the bayside looking toward the Smith Point Bridge. I am still playing with my twig and Chinese ink.
