Here is where work stopped until I return to my studio in August.

That's when the beach grass layer will be added to the base layer of sand in the bottom row of panels.

I'm pleased with the wave action.

The kind of day I thought I wanted to present, the idyllic summer one with a storm brewing on the horizon, has changed.  All those waves are present from a storm that has passed AND there's another brewing on the horizon.  It's become the break between.  Just like what we've been experiencing weatherwise ... just what life can be.
