Greenhouse

 On Sunday I met my friend, Suzala for a bit of sketching at Seatuck Preserve in Islip. It was my first Plein air sketching location since the surgery...and it felt so good!

Seatuck Visit

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.

Seatuck Marsh

We are lucky here on Long Island to have so many areas of water.

This was done at the Seatuck Preserve in Islip.

This is 4 x 10.
