Umbrella in the Flower Field

 I had an appointment up in Wading River and when I was done I stopped at Andrews Family Farm to so a quick painting. I liked the view of the umbrella and table in the middle of the flower field.

Small Scavenger Hunt Sketches

These were all done for the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt.

Mademoiselle Patisserie

 There is a lovely French bakery, Mademoiselle Patisserie, in Patchogue. I try to avoid going there because things are just too delicious. I think it is better for me just to sketch the building. lol

Lombardi's

 As I said I couldn't stop painting direct watercolors. This is a gourmet market near me...a bit of brickwork, flowers, trees, an umbrella, and some lettering. The white lettering was done with a white gel pen.

Robert Moses Beach Sketches

 We had a heat wave that continued after Labor Day. The day after Labor Day was hot but the pool in my development had already closed for the season. I decided to go to the Robert Moses Beach hoping that there was a breeze. Rather than going down by the water (since I knew there was no chance that I was going in) I stayed up near the concession stand that now has an outdoor bar. There was beach music playing and I attached my umbrella to my chair. As long as I was in the shade I was comfortable. I had a nice view of this lady and the beach landscape behind her.

The thought crossed my mind that to cool off a bit I could go under the outside showers, but instead since I had such a good view of them, I sketched a number of people showering off.

At the Beach

It was another beach day and I sat with my back to the water so I could paint these people with the umbrella up by the dunes at Smith Point Beach.
