This Wednesday from 6:30 to 8PM (they close at 8)

Folks,

The weather is iffy for tomorrow.   I'd like to schedule an outdoor event but I don't want to take the chance there may be rain and I found a new venue.

I am going to schedule us to do the Dolci Momenti Bakery in Holbrook.  

315 Main St, Holbrook, NY 11741, it's near the Outback Steakhouse.

John and I went one evening and I sketched the cakes and it was awesome.  They have coffee, tea and other beverages and the display cases with the cakes are amazing subjects.  They have expresso and cappuccino.

You may have seen my one sketch I did already.  It was a lot of fun.

Folks,

This week we are going to sketch at Avery Farm on South Country Road.   I don't have an exact address but it's between the Swan Deli and Robinson Blvd.   There are two driveways into the property, the driveway you want to use is the one closest to Robinson Blvd.  It's the second driveway on the left if you are traveling East Bound from Main Street on S Country Rd or it's the first driveway on the right after Robinson if you are coming West Bound (from Bellport) on S Country Rd.  It's a dirt driveway, the groomed one is the wrong driveway to use.

When you come in, SLOWLY drive to the back, you'll see the driveway extends back into the property, go all the way around bearing right toward the barn.  There will a long paddock to your left please park head in to the paddock so that everyone fits.  Please do not park along side the barn in case people want to sketch the barn.

This is a SKETCH AT YOUR OWN RISK site.  It's a farm and farms are not paved, watch your step...bring good shoes and warm clothes.

 Please do not open gates or latches, please request assistance from John, the caretaker.  I do not want miniature horses getting out on our watch.

There is an old office you drive by to come onto the propery, you can sketch that, the barn and possibly inside the barn, but please request permission first before entering the barn.  It's old and you have to be careful where you walk, please request assistance if you wish to go inside.

Final note, please do not approach the Minis or try to pet the minis in their stalls without permission from John.  Minis are very gentle but I do not want to be held responsible if someone gets bitten, for your safety and theirs, please leave them be.  We want to be welcome back at this site again in the Spring. 

Pat and I visited the farm today and it's a great location.  If I am giving precautions, it's because we've been invited to the property and I want it to be a safe sketching evening for us and the precious little minature horses.  It's very peaceful there.

This Wednesday, 6 PM to 8PM

Folks, this week we will be sketching inside the PAC Gallery on Terry St in Patchogue.  I figured since the weather looks iffy, damp and chilly, it would be better do do something indoors.

SOOOOOO.....how about we set up a still life and sketch that?  I have a pinkish pumpkin, some gourds, a butternut squash and a spaghetti squash fresh from the farms out east.  I am encouraging you to bring something to add to the still life.

Does anyone have a Halloween Skull out of storage yet that we can sketch, too?  and an autumn colored tablecloth?  Let's have some fun and celebrate the season!

the address is 20 Terry Street, Suite 116, in Patchogue (11772).....it's the huge building behind the Patchogue Library/Post Office.

This week, we are going to sketch at the end of Beaver Dam road in the Brookhaven Hamlet.  There is a Marina there and some nice marshy landscapes, plein air folks, bring the easels.

Brookhaven is just past Bellport, take South Country Road to Beaver Dam and drive to the end where it dead ends into the marsh and Marina.

This Wednesday we are sketching at the New Village at Patchogue.  They have a Village Green behind The Brick House Brewery and we are going to sketch in the Village Green.  You might be able to park back there, otherwise there is off street parking at the Courthouse nearby where we were set up for Alive After Five.  If you park on Main Street, you will need to feed a meter.

This Wednesday at 6PM

Folks,

We will meet at 6pm.  The gate at the community center entrance will be open.  You can paint or sketch or whatever you like.

This week we are sketching in Bellport at the end of Bellport Lane by the water....there is non-resident parking on the right.  The guards on duty may not let you park on the pier so if you just park on the right in the lot you should be ok.   There is tons to sketch down there by the water.  You can go on both sides.   You should get in a good hour's worth of sketching before the sun sets, bring bug spray.
