The only journey is the one within...

I'm a little behind in writing about what's been happening but the month of June was insanely busy. I was painting for my July solo show on Cape Cod when I got the news that I'd been selected for a residency on Nantucket, the first week of June. What a way to start the season!

So I'm sitting in the living room of my guest house on Nantucket, surrounded by art, listening to soothing, classical music and thinking to myself... "is this real?" Each day my artist friend Laureen and I were treated to a beautiful breakfast before heading out to paint. We weren't able to reserve a spot on the ferry for the car and walking is not a great way to get around with all your gear so by the third day we rented a car.  The weather the entire week was perfect - which is unusual in New England. We even managed to save enough energy to do a nocturne one night in the town. I"ll be sure to post some of the paintings from my studies very soon.
