While the jalapeno was around I decided to sketch it a few more times, each time using a different medium. I started with Neocolors for the first one, used a green pastel pencil and Posca markers for the center one, and Derwent watercolors for the one on the right. Which is your favorite?
One of the items for the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt was "jalapeno." I don't normally have them in the house so I picked one up at the store. Rather than sketch it alone I added in the avocado and some garlic. Guacamole anyone?
This sketch was done along Bellport Lane looking from my mobile studio to a great house (#24). During most of the year it looks different because the hedges in front block a clear view of the house. I thought it was an interesting view looking through the mostly bare branches of the hedges.
Yes, our snow is still around...due to the cold very little of it has melted. I found another path into a wooded area. This one is in Oakdale right off Montauk Highway.
It has been a while since the Patchogue Sketch Club actually sketched. We worked on prints for a number of weeks, then didn't meet during Christmas or the New Year, and the last few weeks the focus was collage. We're finally sketching again and our theme was fruit. I grabbed some of the fruit I had on hand for a fun time capturing it all.
There are several locations for Mr. Nick's Barber Shop in Sayville and West Sayville. This one actually has a small barber pole and a bit of color.
Sin now piles and parked cars were in front of the caretaker's cottage at the Long Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville. The world around me looks totally different with a bit of snow. I'm enjoying it.
