This summer I've been working on portraying Cape Cod, trying to avoid the tourist version, but rather the Cape as the unique place it is, while mulling and incorporating the suggestions from the June residency.
My mentor suggested looking at William Kentridge and Seurat's charcoal studies, and I find these fascinating. I've been doing charcoal drawings and then following with the painting. In some cases I like the charcoal better than the painting! This painting of Cahoon Hollow was a couple weeks before the parking lot collapsed!

I am intrigued by long history of a place and questions of whose footsteps we follow and what can be learned from a place. Archives
