I’m baaaaack. Everything about my Cape Hatteras vacation was perfect (weather, house, food, beach). And for the first time in a long time I took a true vacation, where lounging was required and painting was optional. Even when you do something you love for work, you still need to recharge. All work and no play make for less good work overall, in my opinion. HOWEVER….the sunrises were spectacular and I couldn’t resist making at least one attempt at caputuring it en plein air. Here it is:

Jennifer, I can really feel the moment…when the only noise is the chatter of the gulls and perhaps the distant bark of a dog chasing them off the shore. The shimmer of the sun on the water is blinding yet you can’t pull away. There’s something so special about that moment and you captured it beautifully!

Thank you Kathy! There is nothing that brings the moment home so well as a beautiful sunrise or sunset. I am working on a larger studio oil painting now of a sunset and I think you have just inspired the title for my new piece. I’ll call it “The Moment”.
