This Wednesday at 6:30PM

Folks,

I know on the schedule we were supposed to paint at the beach near Rosanne's house, but because of the death in her family, we are moving to a different location this week.  We are going to try something we haven't before.  We are going to sketch/paint at the Fire Island National Seashore at Smith Point.

http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/Parks/Parks/SmithPointCountyPark.aspx

It should be free to enter the Smith Point parking lot at this late time.  The Fire Island NS side of the parking lot is ALLLLLLL the way to the western side of the parking lot and then you have to walk up the path toward the Wilderness Center.  

For those that may not have been here before, you need to cross the bridge and follow the road all the way around to the eastern side of Smith Point, past the TWA Flight 800 Memorial, Beach Hut and then just before the entrance to the camp grounds, there is the entrance to the parking lot on your left.  Go through and then head to the western side of the parking lot at the other end.  There is a path that takes you up the beach on the National Park Service Side.

Grab your gear and walk up to the beach and we'll be in that area near the Visitor Center.

Don't forget bug spray and it may be cool by the water.

Sketch night is THURSDAY this week

Folks, don't forget we won't be sketching on Wednesday, we are meeting on Thursday at 5PM at Alive After Five on Main Street down by the Court house building near West Ave.  You can sketch the festivities on Main Street.

I will be conducting a home made sketchbook demo, if you would like to make one with me, you will need to bring your own card table plus the supplies I suggested on my Facebook post from August 6.  We won't have enough table space for everyone so I suggest you bring your own table.  I will be conducting the demo from 5-7 and then I am packing it up for the evening, so you can sketch after if you wish.

Thanks

This Wednesday at 6:30 PM and Sketch schedule through September

This Wednesday at 6:30 PM we are going to sketch at Sunset Harbor in East Patch

The address is:

Aquamarina Sunset Harbour
90 Colonial Drive
East Patchogue, NY 11772

Directions are: Take South Country Road (which intersects with Montauk Highway at the Swan Deli/Bakery) past Roe Avenue to the next block, which is Southern Boulevard and go south. Take Southern Boulevard, to the end, and make a right on Colonial Drive. Take Colonial Drive to the end and you're at the marina. If you go right after you enter the marina Chris' boat is in that area, she will be there waiting.

Try not to park in any spots that say reserved, with a slip number. Those spots are mostly along the bulk head directly behind the boats. We don't want to get anyone annoyed because they can't use their parking spot. There is plenty of parking just opposite of those. If there isn't a "reserved" sign on the spot, you can use it. Try not to block any piers and such. We don't want to be unwelcome guests.

Sketch Schedule into September

This Wednesday at 6:30PM

Folks, sorry for the late notice....family issue.

I think some of us could use a nice relaxing evening of sketching sunsets so I will make this one simple.  We will sketch/paint at the Mariner's Museum spot we like in West Sayville, for those of you that are new, that would be the very back of the West Sayville Country Club.  Great spot by the water so it should be cool, and it's actually great for sunsets.

Also, I hope many of you are attending tomorrow evening because I would like to discuss a game plan for next week's Alive After Five so we are better organized, now that we know where they want us.  If you can't come, please email me if you would like to help me set up some sort of "booth" and I will need help "man-ning" it.  Pretty much, give out cards from the PAC show and our new 'Zine.

Find us on Facebook!!
