First, thanks so much for all the kind comments about my manta ray painting! I loved painting this lovely creature.
Second... some exciting news.
I hope you'll come exploring with me as a Founding Member of the #OceanDevotion Mail Club!

Wowza. I took these right at high tide, about 50 min ago. Newcomb Hollow is being HAMMERED!
And the storm is just getting started...
Good morning! The outer clouds of the nor’easter are here, and the sea and wind are roaring here on Outer Cape Cod.
This is from White Crest. It’s going to be an… interesting weekend!
I’ll share videos throughout the storm (safety permitting).
Manta ray painting, after the sketching I shared a few days ago.
I’ve always loved rays. It’s delightful watching their elegance, speed, & curiosity. I also love the way light plays across the sand when I’m underwater. I’ve aimed to capture both in this piece.
Surf’s UP! The nor’easter is still a day away and it’s already pounding out here in Wellfleet, Outer Cape Cod! Already some erosion at Newcomb Hollow. The high view is from White Crest.
The view from White Crest just now. Already ripping though the nor’easter is still 48 hours away!
What’s happening in my studio today? More preliminary sketches for my next book, which is authored by @janetnolan.bsky.social & will be published by @weboflifebooks.bsky.social
Good morning! We’re already under a gale warning with the coming long nor’easter storm on the way.
But wow was sunrise stunning this morning!!!
Good morning! Still having issues uploading video, so this one's on my YT*.
The autumnal equinox is at 8:05 pm EDT, but the weather is already autumn-like. Wild.

Good morning! It’s going to be a stormy week—potentially very stormy with a possible nor’easter.
Wet and dark this morning. I did a vid but something wrong with the file. 😕🤷♀️
Hand-painted and embellished #OceanDevotion bookmarks 😊
Twyla is absorbed by what I’m making for #OceanDevotion Studio. She won’t stop killing it, sitting on it like it’s her throne, or knocking it flying.
SIXTEEN balloons, BTW.
In a 1.4 km/0.8 mile stretch.
Happy International Coastal Cleanup day!
I have the Clean Swell app ready to go. Looking forward to getting out on the beach & picking up rubbish, like volunteers all over the world.
Will you pledge to pick up a piece of trash today?
The ocean calls...and I must go...
Pacific Beach...last sunny beach day of summer...2 mi. walk ...my feet in the surf...sunshine and salt water..so peaceful....

Good morning! A pretty sunrise today and it changed a lot.
Here are your 10 minutes of peace & calm. I hope you take & enjoy them!
1/2 Did you know that the International Coastal Cleanup is this Saturday? You can find a group near you on this map.
Note that many small local groups aren't on the map, so be sure to google your specific area for a cleanup near you or...
Good morning! I did a long video today. It becomes vibrant quite quickly.
Here are your 15 minutes if peace & calm. I hope you’ll take that time for yourself today!
