Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Happy New Year

It's that special time of year again where we celebrate the holidays and this year, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve have fallen on Wednesdays.  There were be no organized sketch nights but you will be encouraged to sketch any activities you attend.  We will be starting sketch night back up again on January 7th.

Watch Facebook for Seasonal Challenges and for posting holiday sketches.  I will be posting a challenge over the holidays on Facebook.

So from my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and have a very happy and safe New Year!

Tonight at 6:30 PM

Folks, we are going to sketch at Roast Coffee and Tea Company on Main Street in Patchogue tonight at 6:30 PM.

Please note that Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are Wednesdays this year so I may be coming up with alternatives like challenges or an alternate sketch day/night to make up for it so please watch for these in your email and Facebook.

Sketch Night 6:30 PM this evening

For Sketch Night Tonight note the time, 6:30PM.......Before you read the venue below, if it is snowing this evening and the roads are NOT safe and a wee bit slick, stay home and sketch something seasonal and post it on FB. I have been watching the weather these past few days and the original idea I had for this evening won'f work because of the weather and the lack of the specific venue I am looking for.....So this evening, to beat the cold, we are going to a different coffee shop, one we have not gone to before, the Starbuck's on Sunrise Hwy, the address is 371 North Service Road, it's in the same plaza as Petco. It's at the intersection of Waverly and the North Sunrise Hwy Service Road. They have a nice big table so whoever gets there first, grab that table.

This Wednesday at 7PM

Sketch Night will be at the Roast Coffee & Tea Company on Main Street in Patchogue, Wednesday at  7 PM.  Mellow out with a nice cuppa Joe or one of the many other hot seasonal beverages they are offering.

This Wednesday at 7PM

Folks,
Two things
First, Sketch Night will be at the Roast Coffee & Tea Company on Main Street in Patchogue, Wednesday at  7 PM.  Mellow out Thanksgiving Eve with a nice cuppa Joe or one of the many other hot seasonal beverages they are offering.

Second, I am still looking for the Autumn Challenge Sketches so that I can update the pix on the blog and FB.....get them in if you want your sketch or autumn plein air piece featured this month...horizontal sketches will work best....see the "PINNED POST" on our FB Group.

This Wednesday at 6:30PM

We are going to sketch over at the Sun Vet Mall on Sunrise Highway where we sketched last year..  Sun Vet Mall is on Sunrise Highway near Vet's Highway, and is a tiny Mall that has AC Moore and Toys R Us as anchor stores.....If you go in on the AC Moore side of the mall, you'll find some benches and stuff, but bring a folding chair in your car just in case.

This Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Folks, this week we are going to Panera in Bohemia, on Sunrise Hwy near the Pier 1. 

The address is 5191 Sunrise HWy, Bohemia.

I didn't bother to get the back room because if we are back there, there won't be much to sketch.....I don't know how busy it will be and there are booths and some tables.  Just grab a spot where you can and sketch.  And you might want to grab a beverage or something so they don't kick us out.
