Last Tuesday my PALS plein air group met at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. The forecast was for drizzle in the early morning but clearing by the time rush hour was over. We meet at 10:00 so that sounded like it would work out, but at 10 it was still misting. The refuge has an indoor nature center with huge, nearly floor to ceiling windows overlooking a former ice pond. They opened the building early for us so that we could stay dry. This was the lovely view.
Indoors we had the view as well as exhibits of animals and insects around the room. I did sketch a turtle in a tank next to me.
Here are Linda, Michele, and Dale enjoying the views.
Love the turtle! What a fantastic and dry view you had!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We really lucked out since there was no sheltered spot outdoors.
DeleteWow what a wonderful place to sketch Joan and your lovely painting of the pond is gorgeous. Great turtle too. Hope your November day is a good one. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. It turned out to be a great time painting there.
DeleteWhat a great refuge! Love the sketches/paintings. The turtle is super.
