When I was a young girl, Mom told me our Dad took us all out on a boat on to the Barnegat Bay at New Jersey to go fishing.  After awhile, the motion of the waves made me "sea-sick".  Instead of Dad taking us all and going back into shore I just laid down on the deck of the boat and slept.  It must have been the rocking of the boat, the splashing of the waves lapping and simply being on the water in a boat that has drawn and inspires me to paint them. 

This is from a photograph I took at the Menemsha Fishing Village near the town of Chilmark, Massachusettes.  In this painting, I wanted to capture the feeling of peace and quiet that fog envelopes you in and I hope I've relayed that sense to you in this painting. The next time you are in the midst of fog; stop, feel and listen for the stillness of just being in that moment of calm.
