A few weeks ago I stopped at Shrimpy's Burrito Bar in East Islip for lunch. I decided it looked like it could be a possible location for indoor sketching. I went back a second time, ordered my lunch and started sketching. My lunch became part of the sketch. (Resisting eating it was a challenge so I had to do a quick sketch of that part. Then I ate the shrimp taco, but left the chips to sketch them and snack on them while I was working. The girl behind the counter knew I was sketching and didn't seem to be bothered that I was there for so long. I eventually snuck her into a space on the page. She was thrilled when I showed it to her and she asked if she could take a photo of it. Of course I let her. She told me I was welcome to come back and sketch any time.
Fun! Sketching your food makes you a faster sketcher sketcher! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I know you do it a lot and a lot of the NYC sketchers do too. It is so tempting to just eat it.
DeleteNice! Easier access to making new friends thru sketching ranks high on the list. We'll see more of your Shrimpy's sketches, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many views of the same place I can do. lol We'll see. Thanks for looking.
DeleteJoan this is a wonderful sketch...looks like you found a new spot for sketching as well as making a new friend. Hope you are having a great week. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks so much. They have good food and were very welcoming, so I will probably go back.
DeleteMmmm, good. Makes me hungry and it is time for bed!!
ReplyDeleteI always get hungry looking at other people's food sketches.
