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:

Terrific array of color and shape--the pearly sheen of inside the shell bits (if that's what I'm seeing), the lacy corrosion to the piece at the right. And what is that on the left--a shard of a bean jar? Am also intrigued by the "title" for the piece: no one is immune. From time, decay? Interesting to think about . . .
Hello there! Hmm, you're even reading the titles now, which takes a bit of extra effort. I had this one in mind before starting the piece, but as "Nothing Is Immune"; once I laid out the elements, though, the composition looked like a face. I did not promise that silliness would not coexist with mortality on this blog!
Oh! I was interrupted while writing that last comment, & neglected to say that I read all the reactions to your "magic carpet" post & was quite thrilled to find (among other things) you'd shared Oliver's "The Kookaburras" for others to see. Although I have not yet conceived of an adequate response for you there, anyone who wants to see the original can follow this link:

Ah, if silliness did not coexist with mortality in all our lives, where would we be? As for the poem, I was so pleased to be led to it, I couldn't resist sending it out for others to see, too.
