Mount Sinai View

 Last week I rode up to Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. The beach is on the north shore of Long Island along the sound. There is a beach as well as a marina. I noticed this area of sand that must have been piled up there for a long time because shrubs and trees had started growing out of it. This was on the marina side. The beach itself was on the opposite side of the road.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!

Since my favorite place is the beach I usually try to get there to start the new year off.

Today I drove over to Robert Moses State Park to check out the beach there. I was tempted to paint the lighthouse, but I couldn't get a good parking space with a view of it. I needed to sit in my mobile studio because there were gale force winds at the beach today. The wind didn't stop many people from venturing there. On one section of the beach there had to be at least 50 people on the sand watching something...and a hellicopter flying over the area. I have no idea what was going on and was not tempted to check it out.

Instead I went down by the boardwalk area and positioned my studio so I had a good view of people walking back and forth to the sand. I captured a few groups of people enjoying the day.
