Every year at this time there is a local group that does a Civil War Reenactment at the Islip Grange Park in Sayville. I ignore the recreation of the battle (except for always jumping when the shots are fired for the battle) and instead I find something by the camp to sketch. This year there were tents set up and one of the soldiers was cooking something over the fire. Of course I started the sketch and he disappeared. By the time he reappeared I already had the bales of hay around the fire and his body actually should have been in front of the hay...but I'll pretend he must be kneeling behind that hay bale. lol I used artistic license and left out all the parked cars and telegraph wires that were in the scene.
