More on Shelter Island

This is a smaller (5 x 7) ink and was that I also did on Shelter Island the other day.

Of course I did one sketch just in ink...perfect when you don't have a lot of time to sketch while you're waiting for other people.

Shelter Island Home

On Tuesday my plein air group took the ferry over to Shelter Island which is off the eastern end of Long Island. The ferry takes all of about 6 minutes to cross to the island. A group of us headed over near the harbor and since it was an extremely hot day, looked for shade. I found shade and this great view of this house. This is 8 x 10.

Beach View

It is a good thing that I have a few sketches that I haven't posted yet. Believe it or not I haven't been plein air sketching in 3 days!!! Yes, 3 days!!! I am getting antsy and I know I am going out with the NYC Urban Sketchers tomorrow, so I will get out. lol

Although it hasn't been nice enough to get to the beach this week, I was there a few times last week and sketched this woman enjoying the view.
This is small...about 4 x 4.

Kayak Beach

On Tuesday four members of the PALS Plein Air Limner Society headed over to Shelter Island.

We took the ferry from Sag Harbor and then we were off.

This was done on Ram's Head Island on part of the property of the Ram's Head Inn.

It was a great spot to paint.

Here is my painting against the scene.

Here is a photo of all of us on the beach there.

Here are Susan, Laurie, Liz, Jeanne, and myself.

After the first painting we went to lunch at Captain Cody's Seafood Shop.
The food was great! Here we are again.

Our next stop was the tiny town of Deering Harbor.

I painted a restaurant overlooking the water.

Dering Harbor View

On Wednesday my PALS plein air group went to Shelter Island to paint. Most of us had never been there before so we spent a while checking out spots before deciding to paint at Dering Harbor. I couldn't decide between the houses or the sailboat, so I did both. This is 5 x 7.
