Yonder Menemsha - Thaw Malin iii

"Yonder Menemsha" , this is a Small painting, 6"x 8", oil on canvas panel

I climbed to pond level from the overlook parking area above. In scouting the shoreline for "my" spot, I found a private path leading down from a summer home.

The sun was low and reflectively gleaming off the white Menemsha Coast Guard Station buildings, making them exceedingly visible from my distant location. The marsh grasses and all other vegetation have donned their Autumn mantle of multi colors. With the looming shadow from the hill behind creeping forward, I was rewarded with muted colors in contrast to the sun-streaked highlights on the near shore. A small dingy drifted by with its lone occupant so intent on dip-netting for bay scallops, that he never even saw me painting not 25 feet away...
