We were hesitant to do this trip at first ― the last time we sailed out of Narragansett Bay the waves were very large and very, very scary ― but the only way to get over something is to do it (and, ironically, sit in the scariest, wettest part of the boat and pretend you're on a water park ride!) and with late summer sneakily creeping upon us we decided to just go. It was a good choice... you should always just go.
After our trip, Mike stayed on the boat for a few more days and I came home to work with all my newfound treasures and edit the photos I took with my good camera, which will be used in some delicious, golden late-summer-flavored artwork. The last photo is a peek at a painting in a new framed series I hope to finish by the end of summer :)
What a beautiful way to celebrate what's nearing the end of summer! To me that sounds like a dream-come-true - I dream of living on the water and just enjoying it's beauty (even though you had some crazy waves). There's something so soothing about being on a boat and even just having water in your view.

I agree! Just being on the coast even not doing anything, just watching waves, is so awesome.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. Your so lucky to be able to be close to the water and enjoy everything about it. I love your art and reading your blog makes my day. Keep making incredible beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca... I will certainly try to keep it up :)
DeleteAs always your photos are fantastic; slices of a life being well lived and enjoyed, that is what it's all about and of course your artwork peeks are thoroughly enjoyed. Also loved seeing you in the pages of Oprah's magazine, just awesome.
