Inktober Day 16

 

With a prompt of "frames" I wondered if the frames themselves would be the items being sketched or what was in them. Since I sketch mostly from life and en plein air I did a live subject. I headed over to Islip Town Beach because even though it is fall, today's temperature nearly reached 80. There was a collection of about 30 gulls on the sand near where I was parking. Before I could even think about getting out of the car raindrops started falling...slowly at first but with more intensity after a while. So I sat in my mobile studio and designed a few frames. Then I filled each with a sketches of gulls.

Islip Beach & Frozen Bay

 I have a hard time resisting heading down to the beach. I ventured over to Islip Town Beach. There were a few other people around and I think they had been feeding the birds and that's the reason they were hanging around. There were lots of snow piles and part of the Great South Bay is still frozen there.

The docks still have ice around parts of them at the bay marinas and parks. I like the look of the water and the frozen areas.
