I always love the combination of a truck and flowers. This was painted with my plein air group at the Peconic River Herb Farm in Calverton. I've been there so many times and never noticed this before.

Pumpkins!
My plein air group painted at Andrews Family Farm in Wading River the other day. The rainbow of pumpkins captured my attention. My thanks to Denise Andrews and the staff for always being so welcoming.

Around Locally
I've been sketching a bit around locally. This is the back deck of a restaurant in Patchogue that is right on the canal called Harbor Crab.

Market view
This is a sketch of a market in Moriches. They have a bit of everything including wine. They are always decorated nicely for Halloween.

Arts on Terry
Arts on Terry was recently held in Patchogue. Two of my art groups were represented. The Patchogue Sketch Club once again did a group project...this time we did printing. I posted a few photos of the group in action carving the plates and printing on paper and on fabric. Here is what our wall looked like...although it was hard to get the whole wall without a lot of glare on the pieces. The lobster prints were mine.

Elephants Again!
The weekend after my Posca workshop the NYC Urban Sketchers scheduled sketching the Elephant Migration that I had sketched the week before. I really didn't want to sketch them again, but my friend, Susan wanted to go. She convinced me to go into the city with her...but my plan was to sketch the surrounding area, not the elephants. We got there really early because I knew how crowded it was the week before. Well, once I saw them all in a line with out a huge crowd, I had to do one sketch...right? It ended up being a parade of elephants across a double page spread in one of my smaller sketchbooks. Sketching all the elephants and the area around them took a lot of time.

North Sea Road Market and More
I recently went to Sag Harbor to meet friends for lunch. It was a beautiful day, so I wanted to stop and sketch something before heading home. The Deli Fresh Market & Seafood caught my eye. How could I pass this up?
