Sandy Neck Light

I love this view of the lighthouse. I've taken many photos of Sandy Neck Lighthouse from several angles. I suppose there is no bad angle. This is a mini painting that I painted for the "Off The Wall 2" exhibit at Cape Cod Art Association. This and the following three paintings I donated for their annual event. All paintings are 4 x 6 and are sold for $60. All of the money goes directly to Cape Cod Art Association (non profit organization). The grand opening is on March 13th at 4:00 p.m. The exhibit will run for three days. There are several popular artists from the Cape that have donated paintings. All of the paintings are signed on the back, so there is a little mystery. Of course I'm blowing my cover by posting this. So. . . shhhhh . . . it is a secret. Last year the event was a huge success. I hope all of mine sell. CCAA has been good to me and it would make me feel good knowing I helped support them in some small way.

Sandy Neck Dunes

My favorite lighthouse is on Sandy Neck. As kids we would go to Sandy Neck beach every weekend. It was a highlight of the summer when we would go all the way to the point where the lighthouse was. Now my husband and I go there several times a summer. Some times we bring the kids and go down on the beach. In the coolness of the mornings, we set up in the dunes protected from the wind where it is warm and cozy. By mid morning it is too hot to be in the dunes and we move down by the shoreline. I don't think I'll ever tire of going to Sandy Neck beach.

Morning Colors

In the summer we usually leave for fishing when it is still dark. I love getting on the water as the sun is rising. It is my favorite time of day. The sky is starting to turn a light blue and then the most brilliant light starts coming over the horizon. It is breath taking. One morning we were out around Barnstable Harbor overlooking Sandy Neck when the morning colors starting pouring onto the marsh. This is a little mini painting - 4x6. A test run for a future painting.

Keveney Lane Bridge

On the border of Barnstable and Yarmouth is a road called Keveney Lane. It takes you down by Cape Cod Bay and through the marsh. I've taken pictures on the bridge, down by the bridge, and in every direction of the bridge. Thousands of artists have painted down here. Last summer my daughter worked at Anthony's of Cummaquid. The view behind there is stunning. Lyndsay got me the opportunity to go upstairs on the deck of Anthony's and I took some amazing shots that show a whole new angle to this area. This is a little mini painting - only 4 x 6. I'll paint another larger one later. Considering it is early March, it was nice seeing the greens again.
