Frank Schaefer

Frank Schaefer of the White Horse Inn, Provincetown, Cape Cod.
Frank died on Sept 14th 2007 in Boston while I was visiting Provincetown. I had just thought about him that morning and wondered if I would see him while I was in town.
That evening at dinner with a friend I heard the news.
It came as a shock to me, over the years he had been a strong presence in the support group I frequented and his face was a welcome sight to me. Somehow I just expected to see him there again.
Friends visiting P-town would stay at the White Horse Inn and absolutely LOVE it!
This photograph sums Frank up perfectly.

Edward Hopper, he who can get me all hopped up!

Since I saw my very first painting by Edward Hopper I have always loved his work. Unconditionally.
His vision is one that you can live within.
Inhabit his world.
Feel the atmosphere.

New old discoveries

Edwin Dickinson a painter whose work I just saw at PAAM in Provincetown in a huge retrospective. I relished his light and brushwork.

Mary Hackett a self-taught Provincetown painter with her very own original style.

Harvest Moon

With the Autumnal Equinox also comes the Harvest Full Moon. Let us celebrate both as we transition into a new season. A time of more reflection and going inside and replenishing our inner resources.
Pay attention to what you love and appreciate it, hold it warm and cosy.

Happy to be back!

Back home again and it is autumn here. Well the autumnal equinox did just pass. On that day I was swimming in the Cape Cod bay celebrating away.
I LOVE TO SWIM.
Just being in water and feeling no gravity surrounded on all sides by sky and water may it be sea or lake or river gives me such deep pleasure.
That is when I feel most at home and at peace. In a body of water.
It is good to be home however after such a lovely trip to New England.
Much needed R and R.
