“Intersecting Paths” is my attempt to preserve the quality of light typical of a serene summer evening on Squirrel Island – an island off of Boothbay Harbor (Maine). This is the backyard/field behind the Allen Cottage where my family has been spending summers for nearly 45 years. Usually this field is mown and the site of various lawn games. One summer, the summer of 2020, the grasses were permitted to grow long and wild, with a single path mown through to the rocks on the North Shore. Even though the long grasses made badminton and corn hole tricky, I loved the way the grasses caught the light and shimmered in the ocean breezes.
