Beauty and The Beach…

Summer at The Beach 9x12 oil ...C. Kidder

I’ve been taking late afternoon walks on the beach that transport me to a Carribean Island without leaving Ipswich. There have been soft balmy breezes …winds just strong enough to fill the sails of the boats coasting by.   Sitting  on a large boulder watching the ultramarine waters capped with white waves  puts me in a meditative state…a place that’s difficult to leave.

Although I’ve often entertained the thoughts of moving to Vermont and building a cabin in the woods, I know in my heart that I could never leave the ocean behind.  As majestic as the mountains are I have a  need to be near salt water and be able to feel sand between my toes.

A Day At The Beach...Gouache...C. Kidder

I’m  looking forward to quiet pre sunset walks again after the busy Fourth of July weekend is over.  I feel blessed that I live where the ocean is always there for me…beauty and the beach .  Time to be treasured.
