Offshore Breeze

Cape Cod and Memorial Day have been, for most of my life, never separated. But unable to be there this year, completing a piece based on a location not far from where I stay when there is as close as I’ll get this holiday weekend.

With an almost constant offshore breeze blowing in from Nantucket Sound, the landscape of the ocean-facing side of the Cape slants inland, with scrub pine, oak and cedar holding on to the landscape, but shaped by the winds that bear down on them year-round.

“Offshore Breeze” 40 x 30, oil on canvas. To be part of “Cape Color” show, this July, at Left Bank Gallery, Wellfleet, MA.
