The 54: 54 Falmouth Beach Paintings in 54 Days

What began as a self-imposed discipline took on a life of its own. On April 1 2020 the Town of Falmouth closed its beach parking lots as a proactive measure to reduce Covid 19 viral spread. It meant I lost the option of painting beach scenes from the front seat of my car. They remained closed until May 24. A total of 54 days. One year later March 2021 I found myself sitting in my car in a beach parking lot painting and wondering why didnt I do this more often last year? Then I remembered. I couldnt get there. The idea came to me to celebrate how life is different this year. So on April 1 2021 I began a series of 54 paintings of the Falmouth beaches. My personal commitment was to complete the paintings in 54 days one a day every day by May 24. You hold in your hands the result of that commitment. Please enjoy. Thank you for looking.
