This Wednesday at 6PM

Moving up sketch to 6PM since it has been getting dark a lot quicker.....

This week we will sketch at the end of Blue Point Ave... Trying to get in that last bit of summer scenes before we get forced indoors again.....You can sketch the water, there's a small beach or there are some houses nearby....

There are some good opportunities for sunset sketches.

This Wednesday at 6:30 PM

This week we are going to the Meadow Croft Park at 299 Middle Road in Bayport/Sayville.  It's where the Loughlin Winery is.....you can pull up either to get the directions.

Note about parking....they don't want you to park on the long driveway going into the estate.  Go all the way in and park at the lots up by the house...there's parking on the left and the right....on the right you'll see a picnic area where you can park. It's swampy so bring the critter repellent.

It should be a nice evening, I hope.  Plan on going to the Maritime Museum in West Sayville, the usual spots we've been sketching....It's a good spot for many things and I know a lot of folks like this spot.

See you there.

This Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Folks, I am away this week on vacation.  I am going to schedule Flo's for this week since I know that's a nice public area.  You can sketch at Flo's or up the street at Cory beach if you want a sunset scene.  Try gathering at 6:30 or so. I will be sketching along with you guys from the Jersey Shore.
