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.
