Also saw a dead (and frozen) fisher, which I took pics of but havenβt shared even though I found it interesting to examine one up close. Iβll share them anyone is interested.

I did not get to the beach for #OceanDevotion, but I did get to the Cape Cod National Seashore Salt Pond Vistor Center to hear a great talk about Monomoy Island, its history, and especially its wildlife, esp. bird life.
(Got a back-stage tour to see some bones and stuff too!)
Thanks, Gina! Itβs only because of ongoing power issues from the blizzard out hereβcouldnβt do anything else today but paint!
It's been waaaaaay too long since I had the chance to do an oil painting, or any art/illustration that wasn't a contracted job.
Early stages of this one. But the process feels so good.
#OceanDevotion #WorkInProgress
An art desk with a desk easel and a square canvas covered in gold gesso waiting to be painted on. Oil paint on the palette. A partial view of other ocean paintings off to left. A cold, dark, snowy rainy view through the window behind.
It's a studio afternoon, and oil paints are on the palette.
I can't wait to share the new #OceanDevotion paintings I'm working on!
I love it!
Good morning! Iβm late today as the weather is foul. In fact, this is short because it was genuinely painful: brain freeze + sandblasting. π
So hereβs your minute of peace and calm (?) and the raw power of the sea.

Good morning! Todayβs sunrise: 30 minutes in 30 seconds.
Iβm uploading the 30-minute version to YouTube and will put the link below so you can give yourself a nice long meditation today.

Please do!
Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

Good morning! I took a long one today, as it was so peaceful at the beach.
Here are your 15 minutes of peace & calm.

Good morning! Too cloudy for me to capture the lunar eclipse, but not for a golden sunrise!
Here are your three minutes of peace & calm.

Ahhhh THERE it is! I knew it would be everywhere but here. π₯Άπ₯Άπ₯Ά
Good morning!
It was quite a dramatic sunrise (very cold too: 19Β°F/-7Β°C), and I was determined to record until the sun appeared.
So, you get 11 minutes of peace & calm today!

Check out this lovely #OceanDevotion!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!! From time to time, someone will share their beach or ocean view with me like this, and itβs really special.
That must have been cool! Yes, for sure. Erosion is a natural fact of life around here, and parking lots, homes, and much more have been lost to the sea.
Good morning! I couldnβt get to the beach yesterday due to the wonderful, much-appreciated power crews working so hard after the blizzard. πππ
So, today, you get a full 10-minute #OceanDevotion.
Take 10 and breatheβ¦
When you have no power, paint?
New #OceanDevotion oil painting underway...
Yes, as of yesterday! πππΎ
Very cool!
No, not since the week before.
Good morning! #OceanDevotion sunrises are back!
Here are your 2 minutes of peace & calm.
