This week we are going to celebrate the spirit of All Hallow's Eve a little early and sketch at the Patchogue Cemetery, located on the corner of West Main street and Waverly Ave. You should be able to park out front by the gate. Even though it's supposed to be 70 tomorrow, dress warm for the evening sketch.

Since the weather may not be the best tomorrow evening... we are going back to that location in Sayville where we sketched in the Spring, where we can sketch from our cars if we need to....

To get there... take S Main St/Middle Road to Seaman Road. Follow Seaman Road South to Brown's River Road, which should be the 2nd road on your right. Take that to the the end until you reach the waterfront and we will be sketching there. It's a good location for either sketching from the car or out in the open. It's wide open with plenty of subject matter....
