Been a long, long time since I donned my first fleece in anticipation of the 2022-23 winter season. And it is still a long season, even today...amidst unusually cool and rainy conditions. I still wear my fleece, here in May. But the beach season is just about arrived, not quite. And we intend to relish it when it arrives. Why just this week, we've taken several trips to the beach to walk our dog and ourselves, and of course, on sunny, cool days the water glistens and our dispositions are lifted. Here is a small original image, acrylic on masonite board, from which I offer digital prints. The scene is a favorite of mine, the depiction of a view out over the water as you enter Ocean Drive, Newport, Rhode Island. If you've driven this curvy route, you will likely know the stretch of road that affords you this view. Other such images of Newport are seen, here.
