Watercolor & Ink, 4x6
As the storms of winter pass, the sand fence and sea oats show that they have done their job in holding back the waves. As the color returns to the sky and water, the old dunes rejoice.SOLD

"Storm Tide, Color on Gray"
Pastel on Wallis, 12x9
When the summer storms come at high tide, the waves push almost into the dunes. The colors among the sea oats are their purest after the rain.
This painting was inspired by a photo of the beach after a summer storm. The high tide the night before had washed sea weeds into the base of the dunes. As the sun was starting to come up, the sea oats were awash with color, and the grays of the storm grew muted by purple.
