I wanted to sketch the land formations by the marina attached to the Timber Ridge Golf Course in Great River the other morning. This woman was actually sitting on the front end of a boat that was docked there being stocked with supplies for a trip. I loved her pose so I sketched her...and of course the boat pulled away before I could sketch it too. She was already in a seated position so I plunked her down on the dock that was right in front of me.
I am lucky to live in an area with such great views of the water. This was painted at a marina in Sayville.
Setauket is a lovely area, but parking near the water is really limited. I found a spot facing the bay, but wasn't sure it was legal so I worked from my car. This is an area that last August several stretches of the road were washed away in a storm. People were unable to get in or out of the streets there for days.
My plein air group, PALS, was invited to paint at the home of one of our members who overlooks the water in Setauket. Her house and property are lovely and the views are spectacular. In the distance you can see Connecticut across Long Island Sound. Many thanks, Chris!
Here on Long Island we are lucky to have great views almost anywhere by the water like this one in Oakdale.
There is a nice small dock with parking on the Great South Bay in Blue Point. It has a nice gazebo too, but right now it is behind fencing while they are doing renovations to it. Facing out there are water views in both directions.
