The Cape Cod Canal and it’s bridges are sneaking into my paintings. This is an area that I love to go and to capture with the paint. It is the gateway to Cape Cod, your introduction. This is the area that defines the region whether you are coming to the Cape or leaving it.
When coming to the Cape on a hot summer day, this is the spot where the temperature drops to a tolerable level with the sea breezes blowing, and you can feel your vacation begin.
This canal is busy with commerce, where the fishing is rich and the deep current a danger. So while working on my Cape Cod mural I was puzzling myself with my avoidance to lay in these sections of my walls. I put it off for weeks till I woke one morning realizing I had drawn it in wrong initially. My subconscious strikes again. A mistake easily rectified…demonstrated below.
The re-draw correction.
