I spent a few hours on Irondequoit Bay this morning, painting Mayer's Marina, across the swing bridge in Webster (a hundred feet by water, miles away by car until the bay closes to marine traffic and the swing bridge is moved back into place). Nothing brilliant, just an exploratory oil sketch. A more finished picture would have more room to the right, but it's the road behind the old building that interests me most.
