I've sat down by Sayville Beach and sketched this view many times. This time I used my iPad and Procreate.

Printing Project Part 1
Every year for the last few years the Patchogue Sketch Club has taken part in an outdoor festival called Arts on Terry. We always do a group project. This year we are doing a printing project. Each of the members carved a plate of something having to do with under the sea. We have printed the plates together on fabric. The first ones were done with blue ink on an orangy fabric.
Here is my lobster plate ready for printing.

Laurie's fish. |

Manor House and More
This is part of the manor house at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Oakdale. I was planning to join my plein air group around the other side of the house, but when I saw this view I knew I was going to paint it. I joined the other ladies for lunch instead.

The Shed
This branch of "The Shed" is located in Sayville along Main Street. I always look and check if there are people sitting outside when I pass. It is a nice spot, although it must be tough for the wait staff who have to bring everything out from the interior of the restaurant to the tables outside...and the ground slopes. I am one of those people who prefer to sit in an actual chair with a back than at a picnic table.

Bayport Corner
Bayport doesn't really have a "town" area, but down at the end of Bayport Ave where it meets Middle Road has a few stores. I used to get my hair cut over there. I like to do street views in the small towns here.

Lobster
Every once in a while one of these creatures makes an appearance and sits as a model for me.
I am very thankful.

Riverside Park South
The NYC Urban Sketchers went to Riverside Park South last Saturday. This is the old gantry that allowed freight cars to roll from barges to the rail yard that used to be here.
