I have been reflecting on the summer as it comes to a close.

 

Mother Nature, with her beautiful light, let me know there was a shift in time even before the clocks, calendars and computers sent out reminders. 

 

Reflection upon the water as the sun slips away behind the trees, creating a glow, a play across the water’s surface… Pink complements green in both sky and water, while the white boat silently witnesses this magical time of day. The cricket’s chirp is the only sound framing the event. Cape Cod light infuses the scene. These moments are elusive and treasured. Anticipating what unique adventures the next year may hold on this lovely “island”.

 

 The trees and sailboat anchor the composition. And once the paint has cured enough I set in with translucent layers for the sky and water. Striking a balance between controlling and letting go, between laying the paint down and lifting it up.  Enjoying the surprises that then occur!

 

 It is the End of the Season, time to pack up and return home soon!

 

 May you and yours be well.
