1. Wave Escaping from Alcatraz
 My husband and I were
driving between Boston and Providence and after a half hour of
silence he suddenly blurted out “Wave Escaping from Alcatraz”.
Makes sense somehow. (Original: 20” x 25”)

2. Angry Seas
 It was a stunning day as I boarded the ferry to Martha's Vineyard.
But, I must have been fussing over the fact that I got off to a
late start on Friday, hit traffic on the Bourne Bridge and ended
up having to park 15 miles from Woods Hole in never-never land.
Grrrr. (Original: 20” x 25”)

3. Babbling Brook
 This piece captures the imagination of a young girl (moi)
and her summers hanging out at the local swimmin hole in Vermont. I
felt oh so quiet and shy (really?) but under it all I was talkin' a
mile a minute. (original 60” x 67”) |
4. Checking
out the Bottom
 All the years of sitting
on top of the ocean has to be a drag. Day in and day out — feeling
the movement of fish underneath, submarines breaking the surface,
and dive boats sending folks to the bottom. I'd be curious too!

5. Rainy Day in
Chelsea
 Such a tempting toy for a wave! And the rain provides
just enough slickness to get a really good jump going off the rim.

6. Wave Crossing
the Road
 So.
I am driving on Rt 2 heading back to Boston after a day of wandering
the back roads of western Massachusetts. I am behind an old VW
bus weighted with about 20 layers of yellow paint. It is barely
feeling the road, listing to one or the other side while it responds
to its driver's attention span. Suddenly…oops! (Original:

7. Waves in Captivity
 These waves exchanged some excitement on the high seas for
some creature comforts! I tried a number of times to image this
concept, starting with a wave sitting in a fish tank but it just
didn't work until I combined it with a family vacation spot where
they would also be getting some attention. (Original: 20” x 25”) |
8. Wave Diving for a
Fish
 Yeah but, what would they do with it afterwards? Toss it
up in the air and play with it of course. (Original: 20” x 25”)

9. Sittin' on the Dock
of Bay
 At
age 15 I would lollygag down the street with my dog Gretel, singing
at the top of my lungs my odd rendition of “dock of bay” (hopefully
out of earshot). So when I walked onto this dock in Chelsea MA and
felt the slow roll of the water towards the bay, I couldn't help myself.
Just overlook the fact that this is the Mystic River. (Original: 20” x
25”)

10. Wave
Eroding
 I
love to paw through geology books looking for answers as to
why things are. Somehow I prefer the answers I come up with!

11. The
family Portrait
 Not
having children of my own, I was compelled to fill the gaps in the
family photo wall. (Original: 40” x 50”) |
12. Heatwave
 True
story: I was sitting in our back yard drawing this tree in preparation
for the drawing. I looked up and…wow…there were the waves huddling
under the tree. That's when I truly have to wonder about myself.

13.
High Tide and Low Tide
 
A friend dropped me off at the beach, and then forgot to pick me up. It was
a really long day, but a wonderful one. (Original: 40” x 50”)
|
14. Making Waves
 What
can I say. After a week on Martha's Vineyard listening to all the gossip
on the beach and making up episodes of “As the Vineyard Turns”, this
one just happened. (Original: 40” x 50”) |

|
15.
Waves Moguling
 This
is what happens when I spend more time on the slopes than on the
beach. (Original: 20” x 25”)
|
16. Waves of
Orgasm
 I
attribute this one to my husband, not just because he was the one who
came up with the idea, but who despite is modesty and reserve, always
has one thing on his mind. I have no cause for complaint. (Original:
20” x 25”)

17. Permanent Waves
 This
is my flagship, my very first wave drawing. What has tickled me about
it is all the men who can't see the curlers. (Original: 40” x 50”) |
18. Waves
Playing Pool
 Oh
did my father laugh when he saw this one. Not being one who
can comprehend the vagaries of he artistic mind, I was particularly
pleased with his reaction. (Original: 20” x 25”)

19. Role Reversal
 Afer
many hours at the beach, the mind tends to wander. In this case, it
was a good thing. (Original: 20” x 25”) |
20. Waves Rowing on the Charles
 After
a number of lessons and many unscheduled plunges into the Charles River,
I think I will leave the rowing to the waves. (Original: 20” x 25”)

21. Waves
Diving Through a Sprinkler
 If
I remember correctly, I was pining to go the beach. Instead
I was spending the summer repositioning the sprinkler. Boredom
set in. (Original: 60” x 72”) |
22. Wave Contemplating
Suicide
 What
can I say, it was one of those days when nothing was going
right. Not even waves were cheering me up, so I couldn't cheer
them up! This one was lost down the drain. Oh well. (Original:
40” x 50”)

| 23. Undertow  WHAT
a coincidence. I am sitting on the beach reading an old copy
of “The World According to Garp” and I come across the line “beware
of the undertoad”. I seized the opportunity. (Original: 40” x
50”)
|
24. Waveyard
 I
took a cruise to Bermuda with my then 93 year old grandmother.
As we sat in a restaurant near a graveyard, sipping on a Margie,
I exclaimed “waveyard!” and giggled with pleasure. Grandma laughed
and said good, good. To this day I don't think she really knew
what I was laughing at.
