Path to South Beach after the Storm, acrylic on stretched canvas

The hillside along the road to South Beach in Port Washington has been covered with clover for several weeks now and every time I ride my bike there I think how beautiful that hillside of flowers is.  We have been having some quick storms coming through in the past couple of days.  Here by the lake we can see the dark storm clouds racing toward us and wonder if they will pass us by on the North or the South or if we will actually get the rain we need.  My friend, Sally, is an ardent red hatter so I decided to add the woman with her red hat heading around the corner for her walk on the beach.  Her dog has to take one more sniff before following her.  So my inspiration comes from bits and pieces of my life and experiences here in Port Washington next to Lake Michigan.
