Freeport Sketches Part I

Last Sunday several NYC Urban Sketching ladies met in Freeport, LI for a day of sketching on Long Island.

Melanie was coming out from the city so we met her at the Freeport Train Station. We were a little early so we sat in Susan's car and sketched until Melanie's train pulled in.


We drove down to our destination, the Nautical Mile, actually Woodcraft Avenue which is filled with an odd combination of bars, restaurants, fish markets, live music and lots of people. 

Denise,and Suzala met us at the Nautical Mile.  We sat out on a dock to sketch the fishing boats with some of the buildings along the canal.

Here I am sitting on the dock painting.

For my next sketch I turned around in the same location to paint one of the swan boats by another dock.
