Brown's River View

 The marsh area contrasted with the sky along Brown's River is usually a nice view. Often there is a boat docked too. It would be a shame not to document it, right?

Maritime Museum Grounds

 On Wednesday evening the Patchogue Sketch Club and some artists from Paint the Great South Bay met on the grounds of the Long Island Maritime Museum. It is a great place to sketch because the marsh views are always a little different. It was a hot night so I sat in the shade of one of the buildings which gave me a different foreground than I have when I usually sketch there. I sketched the boardwalk and pilings and the marsh first leaving the sky empty. I wanted to paint that when the sun was starting to set. There were some muted sunset colors and a bit of orange where the ball of the sun was as I finished this.

Landscape ATCs

I've mentioned before that I'm participating in an ATC (2.5 x 3.5) landscape exchange on Wet Canvas. 

Here are a few more that have been received.

This is "Beach View III" which was sent to Margarite in Washington.

This one is "Beach View IV" done for Nancy in New Jersey.

Next is "Ireland I" for Sue in Queensland, Australia.

Here is "Marsh View I" for Val in South Australia.
