If you have ever boated to “The Cape” you know that the weather and conditions can change rapidly. Small crafts, as the one depicted in my latest painting, can suddenly become very frightening places to be. The one thing missing from the painting are the life jackets on the sailors. Whenever I heard the words, “get out the life jackets,” I knew that it would be a roller coaster of a ride home! And, you can not get out and walk, if you do not like gigantic swells. To this day, rapidly changing conditions at sea impact and remain clear in my mind from days long past

Something a little fun and festive to watercolor this week for the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society!!

I am always fascinated by the way clouds move across the horizon, particularly against the stark white of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
