Time for a change?

Summer is giving way to the cooler days of fall now, and I think the changing of the seasons is just a reminder from Mother Nature that we too, should embrace OUR own changing seasons as well. Change is inevitable, or as I wrote on my Facebook profile page, "The only thing constant, is change. " I'm saying all of this because it's been a really 'pivotal' year, where so much has happened and forced several things to be different. I, myself, am trying hard to relax and go with the flow and to realize that it's all going to be good in the end. Luckily, I have faith and trust in the Universe. (Oh, and I have painting. Painting gets me through a lot! ;) )

Cape Cod Tornado! 7-23-19

Monday night 7-22 we got a tornado warning. The rain came down hard, and winds blew, but no tornado. That was scary enough but then the next day around noon we got ANOTHER tornado warning, however this time it actually happened! We've only had 4 tornados on Cape Cod since 1950 so it's a rarity here. Cape Cod is chock full with tourist right now so they were shocked as well, especially when it blew the roof off of the Cape Sands Hotel in Yarmouth (no one was hurt luckily). It seemed like the most damage was done to the beautiful BIG OLD trees- they were pulled right up from the roots and tipped over. The tree damage was extensive, power lines were all over the place and clean up crews and power crews were everywhere for the next 3 days. Thankfully I don't think anyone was seriously injured. It was crazy!

Happy 4th of July!

Can you believe it's almost the 4th of July? I live here on Cape Cod and it's our tourist season. People flock here for our beautiful beaches (which most of us locals are too busy working to enjoy!) This acrylic painting is 6"x6"x1.5". It's Nauset Lighthouse in Eastham- one of my favorite lighthouses because of it's red and white colors. And since the sky is blue....I thought it would be suitable to post for the red, white and blue holiday tomorrow. Happy 4th everyone, stay safe and enjoy.
