A deserted dune, two lazy gulls and a subtle set of footprints create the sense of untroubled tranquility in the painting Footfall. The fresh colors and bold shadows of the dune grasses splash interesting contrasts against the powdery white sand. This painting suggests the isolated beauty of a hidden hideaway – the kind that beckons beach combers everywhere. During the gloomy, gray months of winter in the Northeast my mind escapes again and again to secret spots just like this one. Want to come along?

 

Relaxing in my mind,
