She Walked the Shore Before Anyone Else Was Awake.

The village lights are still on. The tide is still coming in. Two gulls circle the old stone towers as if they’ve done it a thousand mornings, and a black cat — unhurried, certain, tail held low against the sea wind — makes her way along the sand toward something only she can see. Painted in the warm, gestural tradition of European impressionist oil, this piece captures the precise feeling of being somewhere beautiful and slightly out of time. The kind of painting you step into rather than look at.
