I like sketching the rides at the carnival...so many great colors. A good part of this was done with Posca markers. I sketched it the day after the carnival so there weren't any riders. I'm sure the packed this up for transport soon after I finished sketching it.
This boat was being worked on at Shellfish Marine by the West Sayville Dock. They always have such interesting looking boats on the premises. According to Google this is a tugboat and the tires make a good fender for the bow.
I've sketched this fountain which is in front of a home in Sayville so many times. I love fountains and the aren't very common. This was done in the sketchbook from Venice that seems to have no/not enough sizing on the paper. I'm trying to use it up anyway.
On Sunday a friend and I went to see the North East Watercolor Society's Members' Show in Garden City. The work was really good and inspiring. Since we were in the area we stopped at the Blick store in Carle Place. I bought a few tubes of watercolor and gouche as well as a few Neocolor II crayons since they sell them as open stock. I skeched some of the supplies when I got home since "bought recently" was one of the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt prompts.
I couldn't visit Smith Point Park without sketching the actual ocean view. This was done directly in watercolor. I tried to catch the waves.
The clouds were great in the sky looking back toward the mainland from Smith Point Park. Sometimes you have to look the other way. lol
This is the front porch of the Swezey Avey House in Yaphank. My plein air group will be holding our annual exhibit and sale there in November. The patriotic bunting makes this historic house look so welcoming.
