New: “Salt Air”

This piece was begun about 3 or 4 years ago. Got it started, then put it aside to work on something else, and over the years I’ve intended to push it along, but didn’t. Recently decided it was time, and after several weeks of work (off and on), got it to where it should have been a long time ago. This old cottage will likely not be around much longer, as it sits on a pricey piece of acreage overlooking Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic. Other small summer cottages around it have succumbed to modern seaside architecture in recent years. As grand as these new summer retreats may be, with their state-of-the-art climate control systems, they don’t possess the charm of those days, decades ago, when a good sea breeze was all that was needed to cool the home after a day of summer sun and heat. “Salt Air” 58 x 34 o/c.
