Partly Sunny, Gentle Breeze


Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester nurtures countless moods. In Partly Sunny, Gentle Breeze, the slow dreaminess of halcyon days is summoned. The escaping tide returns to the horizon, leaving her echoes in the sand. A delicate pink glow emanates, causing pleasant pulsations in the quiet color.

I’m reminded of a tale wherein a kingfisher calms the seas while nests of floating eggs are cradled until hatched. As this reverie continues, I recall a dream, in which ebbing tide relinquishes countless kernels of corn. Both musings leave me with impressions of abundance and a certainty of rebirth.

When I am in need of inner peace, painting in nature restores my spirit. The rhythm of the sea is especially soothing. Partly Sunny, Gentle Breeze inspires harmonious memories despite living amongst too many wireless phones and deafening mufflers.
