A new restaurant opened this spring in Bellport called La Plage. Passing by it today I saw this scene by the outdoor seating area. I quickly sketched the woman outside the fence just in case she moved away sooner than the other women. It was a smart move to draw her first because she moved off quickly.
As you know I do sketches for Creative Spark's Scavenger Hunts. Some of the sketches are really small like this sketch of a golf court. It is about 2 inches by 2 inches.
I stopped at the Sayville Farmers Market last Saturday. The vendors were set up around the perimeter of the field so I aimed for the vendors right actoss from where I was parked.
I had an appointment up in Wading River and when I was done I stopped at Andrews Family Farm to so a quick painting. I liked the view of the umbrella and table in the middle of the flower field.
This was sketched down at Sayville Beach looking toward the entrance. The flag was flying at half-mast since it was the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
An easy way to get some of the listed items for the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt is to put several of the items into a still life. Then I like to do a continuous line of the whole thing...
My plein air group always heads to the Dahlia Garden at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum at this time of year. I usually do a closeup of a dahlia or two but I did a more encompassing view of some of the flower beds this time.
