Smith Point Bridge

I've done many paintings of Smith Point, but never painted the little bridge before. Most parts of Fire Island are visited by ferry because cars are not allowed in the towns. But the eastern and western ends of the island have bridges to public beaches. This is the smaller bridge on the very eastern end. The painting is 3 1/2 x 4.

Beach Boardwalk

This was painted the same day as the foggy one below, but after the fog lifted. I had done most of the painting when the lady and little boy came along. I just had to put them into the painting. This is 3 1/2 x 4 in my journal.

View Across the Bay

This was done in my NY Plein Air Journal that I started. It is about 3 1/3 x 4. This is the view from Smith Point Park across the bay to the mainland.

Fence in the Dunes

This is another view I painted at Smith Point Park the other day. I sat on one of the landings of the visitors' center so I could see the water over the dunes. This is 5 x 7 done with watercolors and ink.

Smith Point Dunes

This was done in plein air at Smith Point Park looking east toward the visitors' center. It is about 3 x 4 done in watercolors and ink.

Flowers Along the Fence

This is yesterday's plein air done at Smith Point Park which is on the easternmost tip of Fire Island. It is one of the beaches that is accessible by car. I used a bit of artistic license because the sky was completely overcast and grey...not blue like this. This watercolor and ink is 4 x 6.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of you!!! I won't be back on the computer until Tuesday, so have a great one!
