We had a few rainy days recently and I was in Islip to do early voting. Since I was already there I decided to stop at the Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge. I have sketched there several times in the past and when we were there a few months ago I decided I wanted to go back and do a sketch of this room with this couch. My friend, Maureen, works there so I also got to see her while I was there.
When I finished I moved into another room and did a sketch of the view out the window. The property was originally part of the Scully estate and was donated to the Audubon Society who used it as a wildlife sanctuary and nature center. Suffolk County purchased it from Audubon and continues to maintain it as a wildlife preserve and sanctuary.
