Bethany Breakers

by Ellen Rice

Vertical Divider

Bethany Breakers is the companion piece to The Addy Sea, Out of the Mist. I passed this way one early spring day on a short walk north to the Addy Sea from the center of town. The April afternoon had started out sunny and warm, but as I walked the breeze shifted to coming from the east out over the still cold water and fog began to form and start rolling in.

This painting depicts the moment of transition, with sun still touching the sea while farther out the fog has turned the sky and water dark. I was glad I'd brought a jacket! Before long, the fog made it almost impossible to see even the old stone jetty that had recently been uncovered by a storm.

There is a quiet hush about being enfolded in fog. You hear the water, an occasional bird, but for a time it's as though the whole world is shut out. You're alone with nature. It could be any time, any year, any month. I was about to visit a building built in the 1800s. With the view of contemporary beach homes blocked from view, it wasn't hard to imagine that I was in a moment back then.

You can click on the link above to learn more about my destination.

Fog is not unusual along the ocean's edge, especially during the shoulder seasons when disparate water temperatures and air temperatures collide. I hope you enjoy the moment captured with brushes and oils in my painting.
