Ocean View

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. 

Sky and Reeds

 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 

Swezey Avey House

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. 

La Plage

 A new restaurant opened this spring in Bellport called La Plage. Passing by it today I saw this scene by the outdoor seating area. I quickly sketched the woman outside the fence just in case she moved away sooner than the other women. It was a smart move to draw her first because she moved off quickly.

Small Sketches

As you know I do sketches for Creative Spark's Scavenger Hunts. Some of the sketches are really small like this sketch of a golf court. It is about 2 inches by 2 inches. 

A friend invited us for Rosh Hashanah dinner and for dessert she made a wonderful blueberry pie. We came home with a bit of the pie, but it got a bit mangled on the trip home. I sketched it anyway.

"Fruit" was one of the promps. I sketched my clementine using dry Neocolor II crayons.

Vendors at the Farmers Market

I stopped at the Sayville Farmers Market last Saturday. The vendors were set up around the perimeter of the field so I aimed for the vendors right actoss from where I was parked. 

Umbrella in the Flower Field

 I had an appointment up in Wading River and when I was done I stopped at Andrews Family Farm to so a quick painting. I liked the view of the umbrella and table in the middle of the flower field.
