Sometimes that scene comes along that you have to capture. While I was painting the cherry tree in Setauket in the last post, a car pulled up along the bank across from me and a family climbed out. The dad and one of the young sons stood there and the dad was teaching the little boy to fish. It was such a great scene! As with most sketches of people I had to do it immediately before they moved out of my line of sight, which they did a little while later.
It took a while but the cherry trees here finally started blooming. This one was in Setauket. I used a combination of watercolors, watercolor pencils, and watercolor crayons to try to get some of the texture of the blooms on the tree.
A bit of a cloudy sky...
The Patchogue Sketch Club had an evening of printmaking. I made a new design of an iris.
While on my walk I came across a tree with white flowers.
These were all done for Creative Spark's Scavenger Hunts.
This is a portion of the Great South Bay as seen from the Blue Point Dock.
With what has been going on in our country I had to take part in the "Hands Off" protests that took place on April 5. My friend, Suzala, and I took part in the protest that was held in Mineola. It was rainy and cold here on Long Island, but that didn't affect the turnout. Both Suzala and I documented the day with our sketches. It was a bit difficult to sketch in the rain.
