For those familiar with my work you will remember a few paintings I completed from subject matter the evening before Hurricane Irene. I always make sure I take a trip to the beach to see the surf. The waves, the water, the clouds are always spectacular...it never fails. Today I made sure I was up early enough to see the sunrise and it did not disappoint...amazing how you can feel something in the air during inclement weather.
View from my deck overlooking the woods of the Goldthwaite Trail.
The subject of many of my snow scenes.
Had a field trip to Plum Island this afternoon and as impressive as the waves were, what was most impressive was the surge. The water was so high...I can't imagine what it will be like tomorrow.
The sea spray was like rain...I had to clean my lens after every two shots.
Brutal wind...very hard to keep your footing. Very intimidating force even at this stage.
the penguins look a tad bit out of their element...
Any way...no sunset pics like Hurricane Irene, but still impressive. Hopefully the storm won't be too bad.
