PALS has posted over 100 locations so far!

I am amazed to announce that I have posted over 100 PALS Locations since we began 3 years ago!
Thank you all artists and people who have invited us and shared their locations with us.
Thanks to all who have supported PALS and participated in our love of art and painting!

Main Street Sayville 11/20/12

Great town, with a friendly and welcoming vibe. Most importantly, it is home to many of our favorite painting locations, and also our Annual PALS art shows at the Gillette House!

Brookhaven Gazebo 11/6/12

A few PALS met up at the Gazebo to paint after the storm. We have painted here many times with tons of orange tiger lilies, a bubbling brook and huge willow trees.  Today was very different, after 3 huge trees were toppled by Hurricane Sandy, and the brook seemed to sadly stop bubbling somehow. We painted what we saw, and congrats go out to Joan T. for selling her painting of a huge tree stump...she truly captured after the storm.

Hurricane Sandy 10/30/12

Our hearts go out to all victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Three of our PALS have been particularly hit hard.
We are so sorry for everything you are going through.
We can't wait till this is all behind you and you are painting once again.
You are in our prayers.

Longwood Estate 10/23/12

This location is a favorite. Huge trees, red barns, space, and fresh air. On this Plein Air day I merrily painted to school children laughing and chatting in the distance.

Organics Today Farm

What a special farm this place is!
We felt like we went back in time. Thank you Joan S. for introducing us to this fantastic location.

Veggies, and a green house, and fields and pumpkins and even a scarecrow! We couldn't ask for more!

Bellport Dock 10/2/2012

Love this place! We had a beautiful day to enjoy Plein Air painting in Bellport, NY,

Lots of interesting visitors too. It feels so wonderful to paint within inches of the Great Souh Bay.

Shelter Island

I can't even believe that I have never been to this location, although it's less than an hour east...much closer than NYC. I plan on going back as often as possible!
 PALS did a good job of getting to the ferry, and the ferry ride was a big surprise...it was all of 3 minutes!...heck, I think we could have swam across!
There were hundreds of locations waiting to be painted there, and we settled in and enjoyed our panoramic views. We  met a few locals, very friendly, enjoyed lunch and friendship in a pretty gazebo and took lots of photos too.

PALS had perfect weather and wonderful company, and I think we all went home with a happy painting! What more can we ask for. Life is good.

Kaler's Pond 9/15/12

Happy Worldwide Paint Out Day!

It was a wonderful feeling to be outside painting en Plein Air at a glistening pond under the shade trees while listening to the ducks squabble a few feet away. All the while knowing that we are part of a larger world, a bigger picture, and in unison, as we peacefully paint at the same time as so many artists around the world! Thank you Chris Taylor for finding this great location for PALS and thank you www.InternationalPleinAirPainters.org

Bayard Dahlia Gardens 9/11/12

Wow! Thats the word of the day! Love this place! We had a nice winding stroll through the grounds, surrounded by magnificent trees, and then our view opened up on to a gorgeous colorful Dahlia Garden. Dahlias of every color and shape and size! Amazing! Can't wait to go back!

Peconic Herb Garden 8/28/12

This special place is one of my all time favorite locations to paint and to shop!
I came home with a painting and a car full of beach grass plants and flowers!
Win Win!

Sunflower Field 8/21/12

Some of you may not realize the behind the scenes thought and research that goes in to picking the right location at the right time...but after a search all the way to the end of Long Island, Chris Taylor and I clocked 100 miles (yes, really) before finding a rare sight this year...a Sunflower Field!

       PALS had a great time,painting one of my personal favorite subjects...Sun flowers....we couldn't get inside the field, because of the threat of poison ivy, so I scratched that itch on the way home, stopping at our local farm stand buying a fistful of huge sunflowers, so I could happily paint some more!

   Love Summer on Long Island!

   

Jeanettes Garden 8/14/12

What a sweet and lovely garden! PALS was graciously invited to the precious garden of fellow artist Jeanette Fisher. Thank you for the invite Jeanette!  Bright colorful flowers everywhere, all tended to with care and love!  We were even treated to a tour of her art studio.

We painted peacefully, enjoying every moment, when a few of us groaned at one time! Seems our focal point, unbeknownst to her, Liz, under her white umbrella, got up and walked away! Well, that's a lesson to remember, paint what may move ...FIRST!!!
