Let's try this again, and hope it doesn't rain...but there is a nice long open building with a roof on the left, or the gazebo on the right, if you wanted to sit under a roof and paint the boats in the rain...

Bellport Dock
Bellport,NY

Beautiful dock with panoramic views of the Great South Bay, marina with boats, gazebo, small sandy beach, wooden pier, colorful kayaks

South on Station Rd, which turns into Bellport Lane...Before guard booth, make a right and park in that parking lot.
Hope to see everyone there!

Hope to see you there!

Islip Art Museum

I believe "in doing"...you can talk about things and ideas until you are blue in the face- but there is nothing like hands on experience ...I can tell you about a great recipe, or about anything at all, but like a recipe, until you actually taste it for real-it's only 1/2 the experience.

That's Plein Air to me- it's like a few hours in time that you are actually living inside of your own painting...you can hear the sounds, and smell the air, you feel the breeze, or the humidity, or rain drops. You look with your eyes, study every detail of what you see...you hold your brush and touch the soft paint and for a while you are one with your art...It makes me feel alive... that's Plein Air to me.

Meadow Farm

Many thanks to Jen Puleston and her family for welcoming PALS to their farm. We had a glorious day...a painting every direction we looked, and such a great turn out. The farm made us all feel peaceful and relaxed, as if we were somewhere else in time...The barn and property are beautiful, the huge wood pile ready for winter, the alpacas were as curious about us as we were about them. (They have the sweetest faces! ) The ducks were having a grand old time jumping in and out of the creek... the sun was perfect and the breeze was just enough to blow any of our daily worries away!

Bayview Avenue Beach

Another great day of Plein Air Painting....or in my case, Plein Air Talking! It was great catching up with everyone...Joan just got back from Venice and I really enjoyed all of her postcard paintings...Larry arrived on his bike with all of his art gear, looking at least 20 years younger then he is, a curious neighbor, Reva, even came out to see what we were all up to and she ended up painting with all of us....so don't be shy...come join us at our next location...check back Monday to see where we are going!
