It has been a harrowing couple of days with a blizzard hitting the South Shore of Massachusetts hard. I love a snowstorm, but since we live at the coast, invariably it means an ocean pounding. I shouldn't complain; its a dream spot for around 362 days of the year. An extra high tide combining with a storm is the worst, and the amount of water that comes over the seawall is astounding.
This painting was done today, the day after the marsh (and backyard) was filled with ocean water and icebergs (the icebergs remain). As the tide receded and the temperatures dropped to below zero, the marsh froze over and was actually very pretty, with a subtle blue/orange harmony. On the far side of the marsh, the orangy grasses were still visible but closer to our side it was glazed over with layers of ice. The straight lines you can see are the cuts through the marsh made by the colonists from their homesteads to the main Cut River, an inland man-made waterway.
