Tomorrow Evening beginning around 5:30 - 6 PM

Folks, 
Sorry folks, I have to do some weather watching this time of year and gauge the time left in the evenings to sketch....it actually looks like it is going to be a nice evening so we are going to sketch in Sayville tomorrow evening.   I am trying to stretch it out the best I can before we have to come indoors.....Sayville is one of the better spots where you can still sketch as it gets dark because the store fronts are lit up.....and you can get a nocturnal in if you want.

There are a many shops to sketch or you can sit down by the Starbucks....Four Star usually has seasonal stuff out front.    There's an Irish Pub of sorts, Down the Rabbit Hole is cute....etc.....

This week we are going to sketch on Main street in Sayville near the Starbuck's.  There is plenty going on, well lit at nght for those that want to stay and take advantage of the nice evening we are expecting tomorrow......you can pick either side of the street to sketch.   This would be a good night to try the night sketch/painting challenge.

This Wednesday at 6PM

Let's start off Fall with a trip to the Lakeview Cemetary....Summer is gone, Autumn is here and the year is slowly winding down.

We are going to sketch the Lakeview Cemetery located on Main Street  in Patchogue between Waverly Avenue and right next to Briarcliff College....you can park on Main Street or you can park in Briarcliff's/YMCA parking lot and walk around.....though I think there is a way in on the YMCA side.

This cemetery has a lot of old monuments and some pretty awesome trees.   It's a very peaceful place to sketch....and the residents don't mind the company.  If we are lucky, we'll get a jump on fall foliage.

You will need to bring a chair and possibly insect repellent, though I am hoping that the bugs are hanging more toward the water.

Great sunset alert - tomorrow at 6PM

OK, barring any interruptions from thunderstorms......we will be sketching at the end of West Avenue in West Sayville......go past the entrance to the Maritime Museum and all the way to the end of West Ave is a pier where I am informed there are great sunsets......or maybe great cloud formations if Mother Nature decides to paint a different sky.....

This Wednesday at 6PM

This week we will still try to get in a good sunset.  We'll meet at the Sandspit Park aka Davis Park Ferry.  If you are a Town of Brookhaven resident and you have a sticker, you can park with the sticker.  If you are not a resident, there are a couple of options for parking.....you can park on the street for free and walk your sketch gear in....or you can pay the fee and park down at the end where we will be sketching....I think the fee is $5...tell them you are NOT there for the ferry but to sketch and yes, we will be leaving at dusk.  :-)

There are some good sketching subjects and it's a decent spot for sunsets.  Just go toward the back on the western side where the inlet is for the boats to come in and out of the Patchogue River...
