San Souci Park in Winter

 The frosty temperature has helped to keep the snow from melting. This is a view of the path that heads into San Souci Park just down the road in Sayville. It is challenging to do all those background trees in the distance, but I went for it.

San Souci Park Entrance

Right along Broadway Avenue in Sayville is a small parking area for San Souci County Park. I like that you can see the entrance and the path without walking into the park itself. It made painting from my mobile studio very comfortable on this day of barely 14°. Nobody else was there and I parked facing the entrance with no problem.

San Souci Park

Down the road from me just into Sayville is San Souci County Park that I've never ventured into. I do like sitting in the parking lot and looking down that path. The bits of snow and bit of fog made it interesting. Lots of people stop there to walk their pets.

Sketching on Toned Paper II

I'm a bit behind in posting my pieces, but since I showed you one on toned paper yesterday, I figured I should show the one I did yesterday. I've been wanted to sketch the snow from this spot, but for days I kept contemplating the parking lot trying to decide if I could drive in and get back out. lol Yesterday it looked like it was solid enough to not have a problem. This was done from the San Souci parking lot in Sayville.

I used the Strathmore Toned Paper for this one again. I did most of it on site but finished it with the watercolor pencils at home because I ran out of time because I had a hair appointment.

I know many of you across the USA experiences snow and ice yesterday, and for some of you that was rare. I hope everyone is safe and that things are back to normal for you!
