| River Channel from Bay Ave |
This painting depicts a favorite scene not far from our house, with the marina situated on one side and the beach and dunes on the other. It is the outlet of the Green Harbor River into the Atlantic Ocean. The grasses were brown, the sand was beige, the water was grey and the rocks were dark shades of all those colors - a February color scheme! The only non-drab area in the scene was a stack of newer looking lobster traps that were bright yellow and orange, sitting amid hundreds of older seaweed enveloped traps.

| Cold Front that Ended Paint-Out |
The challenge given this day's mostly gray skies was to capture the winter grayness but also depict "the moment" when rays of sun illuminated that the area around the new yellow lobster traps.
A downpour ended this paint out abruptly. The clouds were quite ominous and the wind gusts
may have been in the gale range as it actually blew the back doors of my van shut. Amazingly, I had just stowed my palette and the painting fell to the ground right sideup. It's the little things! :))
