Old Reliable

30x40 oil painting 

  Old reliable was once a grand property. Today she is poised to be rebuilt once again into a grand property. 

 She has been depicted in paint and words by many great artist.

 The skies at this moment were foreboding. Storm clouds are just behind me and the remnants of her pilings look precarious. The opening in the clouds illuminates the beach in the foreground. 

The clear day  is quickly moving away and the pilings are more exposed as the tide moves out. The clouds are rich and full. There are footprints in the sand. There are so many stories here.
