This evening was the last Alive After Five for the season….there was no model this evening so I was finally able to sketch this purple truck…..I meant to add more people to the sketch but it got dark pretty quickly….it isn’t a food truck, it’s clothes on wheels….

Today’s sketch from Main Street
I don’t normally like to go out during midday in the summer to sketch or paint. It’s too hot, and I burn to a nice shade of cooked lobster in the sun. Yep, I use sun screen but I have to keep reapplying it and if I forget….lobster. Today was an exception because it wasContinue reading “Today’s sketch from Main Street”
Family night in Patchogue
Hubby and I went into the village the other night and we were surprised to find another street fair, geared toward families and it was also a sidewalk sale for local businesses. Not one to pass on a sketching opportunity and a coffee at Roast, we settled in at the coffee shop and I sketchedContinue reading “Family night in Patchogue”
Sketches fron Alive on 25 #3
John and I don’t get to the Eastern part of Long Island too much, although I occasionally teach classes at the art school in Riverhead. Riverhead is another town on Long Island that is doing that slow crawl of revival. It’s a nice place to visit and sketch. They do a street fair similar toContinue reading “Sketches fron Alive on 25 #3”
Today’s sketch
When I leave the studio to sketch or paint “in the wild,” I never know what adventures I will find, with whom I will have a conversation, what events I will stumble on, or what wildlife I will encounter. Today I left the studio to go to a neighboring village to sketch. I found anContinue reading “Today’s sketch”
Sketches from the past few days
Here are a few days of sketches that I haven’t posted yet…. John and I went to the Hambletonian on Saturday at the Meadowlands. I did a few sketches but I liked this one the best because it shows the old Meadowlands Grandstand. Not sure why they had to build a new one but theContinue reading “Sketches from the past few days”
Alive After Five Week #3
Our model yesterday, Stephanie, at Alive After Five, was very good. She came equipped with a goth outfit and black lacy umbrella. Her poses were so amazing that she stopped people who were passing by, and they paused to watch us sketch. Normally they stroll by and don’t even glance our way. Stephanie didn’t haveContinue reading “Alive After Five Week #3”
Some more sketches from the USk Symposium in Chicago
These sketches were loose or in different sketchbooks from my last posts… This first sketch was done in my morning pages as I was waiting for my flight for Chicago. I got up so early that I had to do my morning routine at the airport. There was another flight boarding at my gate. TheseContinue reading “Some more sketches from the USk Symposium in Chicago”
Urban Sketcher Symposium Final Day’s Sketches
This morning, I sketched the top of the Congress Hotel. It’s a cool sign and it glows brightly when lit in the evening and I enjoyed the challenge of sketching it this morning. Then I moved on to sketch Lake Michigan. I couldn’t leave Chicago without sketching the lake! I was surprised how green itContinue reading “Urban Sketcher Symposium Final Day’s Sketches”
Urban sketchers Symposium Day 2
The sketch subject below is on Congress Pkwy just East of Michigan Ave. This sculpture is beautiful. It is designed as a trellis for vines so that her skirt will fill out with plant life…so far, she just has a few leaves. I moved on to the Plaza where the native American sculpture was holdingContinue reading “Urban sketchers Symposium Day 2”
