The Shed

 Right along Main Street in West Sayville is The Shed, a restaurant in West Sayville with a large oudoor seating area. The umbrellas over the picnic tables give a peaceful feel to the place.

Lazy Bunny Ukulele Band

Summer had officially started with a concert by the Lazy Bunny Ukulele Band held at the Common Ground Park in Sayville. The band is really entertaining and by the end of the evening there were quite a few people up dancing. I enjoyed the show with the other members of the Patchogue Sketch Club. 

Continuous Line Fun

I did this continuous line sketch by the pool with Procreate.  It seems much easier to do a continuous line on paper rather than an iPad. It just doesn't have the same feel to it. I added color which made the sketch a bit clearer...my water bottle, sunglasses and my beach bag.

Lavender Field

 My plein air group was scheduled to paint at Lavender By the Bay in Manorville again, but the weather wasn't good. I gave it another attempt, again from my mobile studio, but I was the only member who showed up. There was a small patch of yellow and red flowers in the field which was a different contrast.

Strawberry Jam

During our heat wave it was good to find items inside that I could sketch. This fit a Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt item too...something sweet. 

Outside the Sayville Bean

 A stop at the Sayville Bean was a good spot to find some people to sketch early in the morning during our heat wave. It was early enough for the heat to be tolerable.

Scavenger Hunt Sketches

 I had gone out early to get lobsters for 4th of July dinner (a tradition our family had for my mom's birthday which is the 4th of July). I hadn't had breakfast and I had left Jerry sleeping so on the way back home after picking up the lobsters I stopped at Mc Donald's to pick up Sausage and Egg Mc Muffins. One of the prompts for the current Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt was "yummy" so I thought this fit.
