SBAA was founded in 1956 to encourage the creation and appreciation of the visual arts. Their activities include monthly meetings with demonstrations, lectures, critiques, morning sketch groups, workshops in various media, exhibits, newsletters, and many other events.
Part one of my presentation focused on outdoor equipment choices from the classic French easel to the various contemporary pochade boxes. With the remaining time I demonstrated how I start a painting on location, with a focus on my palette of colors, medium and brushes.

From Bellport.com:
Local artists were invited to participate in the third annual Bellport poster contest. This year's competition was sponsored by the South Bay Art Association in conjunction with the Bellport Chamber of Commerce. The official poster for the Bellport Bay Festival and Regatta was chosen from among the entries. Submitted artwork reflected the essence of Bellport Bay, maritime scenes or boats of the Bellport area.
The winning artwork was an oil painting by Larry Johnston entitled, "Light of Day."
