Painting in Wellfleet with Mike Rooney


This week I met up with Mike Rooney and painted in Wellfleet, on Cape Cod. Wellfleet is a very beautiful town, two towns down from Provincetown. I always feel like I'm in the country when I'm there. It's known for it's oysters "the best in the country", boast the Wellfletians.

It's great to get out of the crazy congested Provincetown for the day and paint some of these beautiful marshes.
After painting a marsh scene, and taking a swim at high tied, we headed to the Wellfleet harbor. There we painted until the sunset.
Not sure if I got a good painting out but Mike was quick to point out how lucky we are to be doing what we love and giving ourselves permission to take advantage of the last stolen days of summer.

  1. Two plein air stars -- Wellfleet's lucky.
