When you finally get to the Cape, and work your way down Rte 6 toward the outer area, you finally get to the main visitor center for the Cape Cod National Seashore, and you have checked the exhibits, and used the restroom, you step out the back and this is what you see. I cannot go to Eastham without stopping here. It is a spectacular view.

I created this piece standing in a yard outside the Fresh Paint Gallery on Cape Cod with other artists; we were having a paint-in. At the time, I was a member of this gallery. The only thing that drew me was this tree, and it drew me strongly. The incredible action of the trunk and branches twisting around, compounded by the vines going every which way gave me plenty of challenge.

It always feels good to be painting on Cape Cod. I am hoping I can do some of that this summer. Here I am at Grays Beach, with my back to the parking lot, and I can see the lifeguard station just beyond the cedars and just a strip of the water. I like how the foreground was so warm, and I am crazy about the umbrella! 

While we're talking about Gray's Beach, you might like to click on the link. It shows the amazing long, long boardwalk there. Here is another painting I did at Gray's beach, from the Pink Chair series. This time I was in FRONT of the lifeguard stand.

This is one of my favorite pieces for this time of year and I wanted to share it with you, even though it was sold. The colors tell just what is happening right now in the coastal marshes.I painted it at the Cox Reservation in Essex, MA. This gorgeous place was the home of renowned muralist Allyn Cox, who gave the property to the conservation group, Essex Greenbelt.

From their website: "The studio barn, which served as Cox’s Studio, still contains many of the tools used by Allyn Cox to practice and create his murals. Some of the implements on display include old canvas stretchers, brushes, and palettes. One of his murals is permanently on display. For one weekend every June, Greenbelt hosts an art exhibit and sale. Two barns are converted into colorful galleries, and display and sell the artwork of over 130 local Essex County artists.

The view there that I painted is often referred to as "Motif #2". It is a place where artists are always welcome and can find lots to paint.

The same day I painted Plum Island #1 (posted yesterday) I painted this picture at the Parker River Wildlife Preserve at Plum Island. I just looked right instead of left, same spot. The fields had just been mowed, probably a control of some kind in this wildlife refuge, and there were wet spots in the foreground as well as the waterway behind. What at first seemed rather plain and simple, became one of my favorites.
