Our gardens in fall are full of little surprises and an overall warmth. Time for a cup of tea. The open studio ends at 5 today.

“NW Wind”, oil on linen, 16 x 20
Another day at the beach, this time perched atop the stones. It was a NW wind making patterns on the water, with a group of tuna fishermen in the distance.

New: “Cormorants”, oil on linen, 30 x 45
I love watching the Double-crested Cormorants gathering on the rocks. After diving for fish they sit and open their wings to dry their feathers. The gulls circle or sit nearby hoping to steal a meal. In the foreground the water is two-toned, turned turquoise by suspended sand stirred up by a storm.

New: “Hurricane Erin”, oil on linen, 30 x 30
The day after a hurricane usually brings a day of sunshine on waves that are beginning to settle down, but still loaded with energy. The wave life cycle is hypnotic.

New: “Still Water”, oil on linen, 24 x 36
This year the infinite variations of water continue to intrigue me. While invisible itself, it reflects, hides and reveals the light and energy around.
