Celebrating the New Year!

I decided to start the new year off right, so I headed down to the beach at Robert Moses State Park on Jan. 1 where I stood outside and did 2 plein air paintings of the snow on the dunes. The temperatures were really mild so I hiked to the lighthouse, took a break, and then wandered further down the road as far as Kismet, a beach community on Fire Island. I've never walked past the lighthouse before so this was a new adventure for 2011. I'm sure it looks different in the summer than it does under snow. I'll definitely have to walk back in warmer weather.

Lighthouse Beyond the Dunes

This was painted at Robert Moses State Park. I sat on a bench on the boardwalk and painted the Fire Island Lighthouse in the distance. This is 3 1/2 x 4

Island Lighthouse

This is another view of the Fire Island Lighthouse that I posted yesterday. I went back to do this yesterday and sat up on a bird viewing platform so I could see both the Great South Bay and Atlantic Ocean on either side. This is 3 1/2 x 10.

Fire Island View

Yesterday was sunny and breezy...perfect for plein air painting. I went over to Robert Moses State Park to paint the Fire Island Lighthouse. I've painted this several times before and always enjoy it. I decided to do it as a long vertical painting. This is 3 1/2 x 10 and done in watercolors and ink.
