I was meeting friends for lunch in Westbury and went a little early so I could sketch for a bit before going to the restaurant. I drove into Eisenhower Park in East Meadow and found this unusual building. I have no idea what it is used for but I liked it and did a quick sketch.
The Patchogue Sketch Club was meeting, but the forecast was once again for rain so we moved to an indoor location. I brought along some fruit to use for sketching and Mark and Teresa sketched it too.
I like finding marine related buildings like this one in Islip. It is fun to sketch the vehicles and details.
The trees down by the beach in Sayville have unusual shapes do to being exposed to the wind from the Great South Bay. They are gnarly and mishapen, but beautiful anyway.
The north fork of Long Island is home to quite a few big nurseries. It is the perfect place to do some plant shopping. The plants by the greenhouses at Lewin Farms in Calverton always look good.
Over the weekend I took a ride to visit my sister, Mickey who lives in Waldwick, NJ. It was a nice day so we took a ride over to Borough Park in Waldwick. I was able to do a sketch and we also got to log in a few steps while we were there. Across the water there was a deer feeding on the plants.
The Fire Island Lighthouse can be clearly seen from the parking lot across the bay from the island itself at Captree State Park.
