The cure for anything is salt water~ sweat, tears or the sea.” ~
~Isak Dineson
I am not a “Summer Person”…the heat really gets to me and I have trouble being productive when I’m sweating. All I want to do when it’s hot is just be still …but yesterday was different. I decided to take a walk on Crane Beach at the end of the day and after walking to the end of the beach where I was pretty much all alone, I looked at the water and just had to dive in. It didn’t matter that I had clothes on…my white cotton skirt would dry . Swimming underwater with my eyes opened I felt like a mermaid… it was such a freeing feeling! I’m going back today…I’ll wear my bathing suit but I’m not sure if it wil be half as much fun !

"Green Water"...Gouache Painting

Fields of Summer
I painted this last summer on a day just like today. Because it was so hot I used my Gouache paints which can be mixed with water and do not require much clean up. I’m going to go to my Studio this afternoon and get out the Gouache again and paint the feeling of Summertime as seen from the view from the windows there. No bugs, no heat exhaustion…just some relaxing time alone on a hot summer day doing what I love.
