Getting out to sketch

It was time to get out out to do some sketching. We took Mack for a ride to sit on the causeway. You can always find a nice breeze here. Even in the middle of summer, we still get a breeze. As I am writing this, an osprey just snagged a fish out of theContinue reading “Getting out to sketch”

Sketches from this week

Occasionally I like to go out sketching with a group. Since I moved to Florida this past autumn, I haven’t had the chance to get out out to sketch with any local groups. Then the corona virus hit so I guess it will be a while before I do that again. However, all is notContinue reading “Sketches from this week”

It’s August

My show was up for a month and a half but regretfully, it’s over. It was a lot of fun. It was on exhibit at the Patchogue Theatre for the Arts. We get a lot of great shows at the Patchogue Theatre. For those of you that didn’t see it, it was whimsical and charming.Continue reading “It’s August”

I chose the Brick House Brewery (BHB) for today’s sketch because they are in the oldest business building inContinue reading “Kitty #125”

Got Milk?

Today was the ribbon cutting grand opening for the Coffee Bean. John and I went over to get coffee and hang out for the festivities. Plus this weekend, Patchogue is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary. So we hung around for that, too. Kitty made an appearance. She was standing in line for milk.

The Dockmaster

My father-in-law is 89 years old and still works at the local boat ramp. He works because he wants to, it keeps him busy and active. This is the hut where he spends his working hours. It has A/C for those hot days. I sketched it this evening when I was out with my localContinue reading “The Dockmaster”
