We lucked out and found a great place to stay on Commercial Street that was a healthy walk to the gallery, restaurants and P-Town events. Our room at the Watermark Inn was pretty reasonable, cheap even by Outer Cape standards and was right on the bay. Well, the Inn was on the bay but our suite was around 15 steps away. I could hear the bay, smell the bay and be in the bay in a moment's notice. Good enough. The season rates didn't start until July 1st so our suite cost less than the skanky hotel we normally use in P-Town. Next year, I want the suite overlooking the bay.During the days, I read on the beach while Rob painted. Painting takes a lot of prep work, including adding gesso to the canvas. 
I guess this wasn't a vacation for Rob. But more paintings = suite upgrade.
One of the finished paintings drying in our room.
I spent a fair amount of time coveting the house that was right next to the inn....
...and their birdhouse....
and their deck and view. Our room was on the 1st floor just past the port cochere on the right. 
Rob was cleaning out his brushes at the back of the car one afternoon so the rear hatch was open. I stopped to get something from the car and immediately said, "Oh my god, you have to see this!" I wonder how many times I said those exact same words because Rob looked at me with the face of death. (I bet you didn't even know Rob had a face like that, did you?) I persisted, he relented and agreed that my excitement was warranted. This baby sparrow was hopping around the front seat. Of course, I had to get his picture before carrying him to safety. I always hoped I would get a seal while on the Cape but they never appear suddenly in my car.
Only 4 days. Always so short and so much fun.

Whew! That was a good one, and I guess worth waiting for! I checked out Rob's work on the gallery site, and you both must be pretty happy to see the ones marked "sold". Although maybe not Rob, as I think you said once he hates to part with them? anyway, that Inn is fabulous - maybe Rob can be an artist in residence soon. PS - I may have to commeny under anonymous, but it's really Cyndy. Stupid thing won't let me post with my Google account.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the sparrow - keep on posting!
