Nemo Aftermath

The aftermath of Nemo is making everyone 

"winter weary"and cranky, including me. 

So I was thrilled to be back in my warm studio today! 

(I'm one of the lucky ones, believe me)

I'd mapped out a few painting ideas on canvas's 

before the storm, so I was able to get right to work. 

"Chatham Bars" Blue 

8 x 10 

I've painted this cottage before but I took a lot of detail out this time. 

I'm trying out a new surface here-

Utrecht's Belgian Linen Master's Panel 

The jury is still out, but I think I like it. 

Storm Note: 

We got our power back yesterday 

so I spent the day putting things back together

and running errands.

I found this on the counter when I got home!  

My dear friend Sally did this for my birthday! 

Nemo flying over our house in Humarock Beach,

an area that gets hit incredibly hard during storms. 

(Thankfully, we had little to no damage!) 

I love her magical little watercolors.

Check them out here! 

Meanwhile: That's how strong the waves were!

Look at the size of that washed up rope 

compared to Cello. !
