Sketching before dark

I had to get my sketching “fix” this evening. I was driving along looking for something to catch my eye and this house caught my attention. It looks like it belongs in the French Quarter but it’s right here in Bayport NY   

Saturday’s Patchogue Garden Tour

This is one of my sketches from Saturday’s Patchogue Garden Tour. I know the object was flowers, but I REALLY liked house #6. Below is an experiment that I never tried before but I have a grey paper sketchbook and I just had to do the white chairs with White gel pen.
