The Edge

 There were quite a few people at the pool and a small crowd along the edge of the pool. I had my fingers crossed that they would stay put for a while...and they did for the most part.

The Farm on Lakeland

I enjoy painting The Farm on Lakeland in Sayville. It always looks so great with all the plants outside and the wonderful veggies and treats inside. I caught some of the shoppers on Sunday morning before I did a little shopping there too. 

Bellport Day

 Bellport Day took place this past Saturday. The South Bay Art Association held a plein air paint out recently and paintings created during that event were displayed and judged during Bellport Day. I previously posted the painting I did for our exhibit. While Bellport Day was being celebrated the association invited artist to come and paint live by our booths. In addition to helping to man the booths I sketched the two artists who did the live painting. Anna Kelson and Katie Kleinpeter did a great job on their paintings...in fact Katie sold her painting of the popsicles right off her easel.

Poppa Mia's Ice House

Pappa Mia's Ice House in West Sayville always captures my attention with the cheery yellow building and the triangular flags stretching across the lot to the pole. I will have to stop and try their ices or the soft serve ice cream.

Sketchbook Cover & Tool

 The Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt that is going on now had hand, sketching/writing tool, and the cover of a sketchbook as hunt item. Many of my sketches are done in a Canson XL Watercolor Sketchbook and often drawn with one of my 3 Lamy Safari pens.

Marina View

 Along Argyle Lane in Patchogue is a small area and building for the Fire Island National Seashore Headquarters. From there you have a view of the marina for Week's Boatyard. Here is a little of the view.

Terry Street Garden

The Terry Street Garden in Patchogue was our meeting location last night for the Patchogue Sketch. It was a wonderful night to be out sketching and the plants and flowers inside didn't disappoint.
