Calm Sea, Stirring Sky


Calm Sea, Stirring Sky
Watercolor, 16"x6"

The sea and the sky seem to have a mind of their own. I remember a day long ago taking a ferry ride from Nantucket to Hyannis as a severe storm approached.  As we left the dock and lost sight of land, normally peaceful Nantucket Sound gave way to a fury of wind, rain and 25 foot swells. I thought the ferry would capsize as I sat frozen on the deck with five other strangers just clinging onto hope. I remember thinking; if I survive the wrath of this angry sea that I will never, ever, take a job on a boat.
