This most recent rendition of Jones Beach was fraught with difficulty. An unusually blustery day gave way to sudden wind gusts, and at one point the whole easel, and palette toppled into the sand. Take note of the progression from 2001 through the current day. My style continues to loosen, my brush strokes freer, my defintion less stark.

Early in the morning on a cloudy windy day , I endeavor once again to capture the day. Now I see red in the horizon, and darker clouds overhead. I paint the ocean with greyer tones, and the brilliant greens of earlier are subdued.
