one year of beach finds, illustrated.
a daily visual journal of what washes ashore.
Every day for a year I will post a new painting or drawing of treasures found during beach walks.
On June 26, 2010, South Street Gallery (located in Greenport, Long Island) will exhibit the entire body of work--all 365 pieces. There will be a preview showing the day before the opening. Please visit the gallery's website:

Another beauty. I particularly love your rendering of the bladderwrack (I think?) entwined around the knife-handle--and Milly is spot on about post 243. Also, I enjoyed your messages from Pittsburgh, particularly the last one. Glad I took a moment to check your other blogs today!
Oh! Thanks for perusing images that are some distance away from the wrack line (like Pittsburgh).
I think it is bladderwrack around the clam knife, although this one is black (of course, it could have turned that color from olive). I looked up plants & learned that some, like knotted wrack, may not produce their first bladder for several years. I wonder if they send out proud engraved announcements on that occasion.
Well, if they don't send out announcements, they should reconsider, and commission you to create them! (P.S., don't know if you've been to Raining Acorns as of late--with an artwork a day, can't imagine you have much time--but I do think you might enjoy "The Virtues of Difficulty," given our past exchanges . . .
Actually, I did visit & read Bill Black's post yesterday. As it happens, I am reading Martha Cooley's "The Archivist," so am in a froth about the Emily Hale correspondence. On the other hand, that is like reading very diluted Eliot, so I felt unqualified to contribute anything to Black's musings on difficulty.
I very much like what pleases you (& the other contributors) to write on Raining Acorns.
Oh, I missed your last comment here. (Am doing my homework re preparing the interview Qs, so reviewing your oeuvre, as they say.) The sheer volume of gorgeous stuff you've put out there is remarkable. In the words of Anonymous, "How do you do it?" As for Eliot/Hale, of course I had to go look that up, and I can see why you were in a froth! Is the Archivist worth a read? (I did like the title . . . I'm a sucker for that sort of title . . .)
"The Archivist" is totally worth a read. Something must have made me hesitate before, but I can't imagine what it would have been or why I would have listened. That makes two suckers for that sort of title.
On the list it goes (oh, my reading list grows ever longer . . . ). And, hey, awfully nice of you to put RA in your "peep" list--thanks!
Just sent you the interview Qs--hope you will find them OK . . .
