The Golden Hour

The Sandwich, MA, boardwalk is one of my favorite salt marshes. Whenever people come to visit, we try to make time to visit the boardwalk. This painting, now on view at the Sandwich Arts Alliance, captures the October light I love so much.

Salt marshes leave the Midwesterner in me dumbfounded with delight – they are different every time you look at them. On the shore the tides move in and out pretty much the same way no matter where you are, but the marshes give you not just the blues and purples of the water, but extraordinary greens, pinks and oranges and their reflections.

The Sandwich Arts Alliance’s June Kershaw exhibit is a great showcase for Cape Cod artists, and I am honored to be included again this year. The Alliance’s gallery and classrooms are located in the historical old Sandwich Town Hall, which has recently been renovated and restored – this exhibit is part of its grand re-opening.

Located near the Sandwich Glass Museum (where they have daily glass blowing demonstrations) Heritage Museum and Gardens (which has antique cars and a vintage indoor carousel) and a very walkable Main Street, it is definitely worth a day trip if you are vacationing on the Cape.

The Sandwich Art Alliance is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11am – 4pm.

I’m glad that a Groton painting is getting attention. Fairview Orchards in Groton, MA, has a small seasonal farm stand on Higley Street near the Groton School. My painting shows the view from the stand as you look out onto Farmer’s Row, a beautiful street with views across the valley to Mount Wachusett.
