Quick Sketch - Nobska Light - Cape Cod

This is a quick compositional sketch that led to the painting I posted on 8/30.  I like them both for different reasons.  Tomorrow I will post another watercolor I have been working on from our Cape Cod trip last week.  I also will have some amazing photos to share with you all.

Cape Cod - 2011

Sunset at my favorite place... Sesuit Harbor in Dennis, Ma.

I'll be posting photos and paintings from this trip over the next few days, but wanted to share this magical sunset with you all while I edit and paint.  Have a great weekend and....

Lobstah!!!!

The noble and versatile Lobstah.... King of crustaceans!  It can be dinner or entertainment....

Last night was our big Lobstah pot dinner at the house.  Everyone does a part of the dinner and we gather together to share in a big fun filled meal together.  It is the highlight of a week full of highlights every year.  One more day and then we head back home and to our regular workaday lives.  I caught the watercolor bug again while I was here and hope to keep painting again when we get home.

Perfect way to start the day.

One of my favorite things to do on the cape is to get up early and joy the sunrise on the bay.  This shot is of Sesuit Harbor near the house we stay at.  With its wide expanse of sky and water Cape Cod bay is one of the best places for sunsets and sunrises.  Today I have no firm plans so will head out with my camera for a wander.  I have been painting here a bit as well wich feels great.  I have to remember to make time in my life at home for my watercolors.

Hi Everyone -

I'll be taking a break from the blog for the next week or so.  I will be taking plenty of photos and working on a few watercolors and will share them when I return.

Late Season Butterflies

We got clobbered with rain here in NY on Sunday, but before the rain I was able to catch these butterflies in my yard and the park across the street from my house.  Perfect way to spend Sunday Morning.

Sunset - Duxbury Ma

Our Cape Cod trip is still a week away..... but my mind is all ready in the Bay State!  Here is an older shot from a trip to Duxbury Beach with our friends Eileen and Mark.

our annual pilgrimage to cape Cod is my favorite week of the year... great friends, great food, fun, conversation, art and relaxation.  The only thing to make it perfect would be an additional week there!

Count down T-Minus 6 days and counting!  Getting paints and cameras all packed up today.... Funny Wenderina has her clothes packed.  I am working on packing my art supplies.... We must really need this vacation.
