Remembrance of Hurricane Sandy

The day after Sandy moved north from Jacksonville Beach this pastel was created.  There was no beach, the water was high, but the dunes were intact so the easel was precariously perched there.  The waves were huge and even the most daredevil of surfers weren't present.

After the Storm
Pastel  6" x 8"

I'll be traveling for the next two weeks with painting a possibility if the weather co-operates, in the northeast there are few indications of spring.  In the mountains of North Carolina the ice has melted, and the trees are sporting a red haze of buds.  I'll be sorry to leave my happy crocuses.

Another Time Remembered

A gorgeous fall day on the South Toe River.  The leaf colors glowing on the water surface and splashes of blue reflected from the sky, like being at the bottom of a bowl of color.
