SPACES, CLEVELAND

Working on a new painting (working title: PASSAGE) inspired by my time in Truro, MA, this past month. The light is special there—the skies seem to glow off the bay. Now I understand why so many Abstract Expressionists spent their summers here. Artists like Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, and Rothko all had homes on the Cape during the ’50s and ’60s.

CAPE ANN MUSEUM VISIT

We got up to the seaside town of Gloucester Tuesday morning to see the exhibition : AVERY, GOTTLIEB, & ROTHKO : BY THE SEA, at the CAPE ANN MUSEUM. Fantastic show! Lot’s of early works from 3 friends painting in this working fishing town in the mid 30’s - showcasing early works and a host of their later paintings from the mid 50’s. Glad I got the exhibition book, it’s great with morning coffee.

— Thanks for the collection, INFLUX !

The view from the barn

inspired by morning kayak trips through the marsh along the Sengekontacket pond, it’s saltwater and runs out to the nantucket sound - it’s around 745 acres and about 2.5 miles in length. It’s just beautiful.
