| Summer Serenity - Green Harbor |
Dawn occurs when the sun breaks the horizon; everyone knows this. What
dawned on me a couple of years after moving to Green Harbor was that the location of daybreak is vastly different between early summer and six months later - early winter. In June, it seems like the sun is practically rising in the north and similarly in winter, the sun breaks the horizon line far to the south over Duxbury Beach. This painting depicts a mid-June morning in which the sun has been up for a couple of hours, yet still hovers due east from our beach. The colors in the clouds and water are tinged with spectacular pinks, turquoise and lavender, and the darker water to the right and left is a grey-blue. The sun is poking through clouds and rays of light cast extra sparkles and glare, but yet is not quite high enough to fully illuminate the boulders and sandy shore.
I've heard it said that the French Riviera has similar light to Green Harbor. And let's face it, if
they said it, it must be true!
