Magic Moments-48 hours of island bliss

“Just jump in” Debi Riley said, and I did.

Tuesday afternoon-

Sketches from the Edgartown wharf:

followed by a porch concert at the Island Inn

and then in the evening a magically silly night in Oak bluffs: dining out a  la fresco, riding the flying horses (I got a ring every revolution but missed the prize), and eating ice-cream while watching the lights on the harbor. Maybe these images will emerge in later paintings. Sorry-No photos or paintings for now.

Wednesday morning-

Sketching in watercolor while perched on a rock amid the tide drift on Katama Bay:

and then from the steps of a wharf in the cool morning fog.

Later in the heat of the day viewing the work of so many artists island wide. I especially liked the work of Colin Ruel below:

   He works in acrylics on birch plywood using water and spray and with a deep empathy for the islands.

Galleries, galleries, galleries -so much beautiful art work and so inspiring!

 

 

Then in the afternoon at South beach and the airport:Sitting on the edge of the sand and finally unable to resist the giant waves I just had to get my feet wet-Oops

And the Atlantic has a pair of prescription transitional glasses to turn into sea glass.Now my whole world is a water-color blur.

And still, I can do (sort-of) a little sketch of the house in Edgartown where I stayed.

The child in me is so very grateful-thanks friend.

“At Seventy”

I’m fit and fine

And, liable-

To Craziness
