Fishing With Dad

Sometimes that scene comes along that you have to capture. While I was painting the cherry tree in Setauket in the last post, a car pulled up along the bank across from me and a family climbed out. The dad and one of the young sons stood there and the dad was teaching the little boy to fish. It was such a great scene! As with most sketches of people I had to do it immediately before they moved out of my line of sight, which they did a little while later.

Goin' Fishin'

The other day on the way to the beach, I made a stop at Captree State Park which is across from Robert Moses State Park. There is a large area along the water where all the fishing charter boats leave from. I lucked out and there were some people already waiting for the 11:00 fluke trip. There were a lot more people but by the time I sketched these three everyone else had already boarded. I hope they caught some fish.
