I've been so lax in posting but I don't think anyone's hanging on my every word ;) I've had family togetherness since Saturday, beginning with a lobster cookout at my mama's house, in Brockton, with all the sibs and significant others. On Sunday, my baby bro Tom, his wife Anne and their toddlers Ryan, 3 and a half and Colin 2 came to stay until late yesterday afternoon. We had lot's of fun at the beach during a super high moon tide on Sunday and exploring tidal pools yesterday morning at low tide. Awesome to have these babies in the family after so long without young ones. I am working on another watercolor which I'll post in a day or two.
With all the Codman trauma, some paintings never made it to the blog. I painted this 8x10 in Nova Scotia in June. I call it 'Anna's Cottage' after one of 3 sisters who owned the cottage. After I did the painting I found out that one of the sisters, Joy, had just passed right when I was painting it. Everyone who knew her said that her name, perfectly described her. She was a young woman of 72 :(

Thank you
I'm hanging on every other word..lol!
Wonderful architecture and colors. Nice to be able to be with family, travel and get the painting done! You go Mary!
'Joy' was definitely in that cottage. Isn't it a wonderful, lucky name for a baby?
There are about 8 of these antique cottages at Second Beach in Parrsboro.
Still bare wood inside. Fantastic old furniture and fireplaces. I think of them as magical.
