OFF SEASON PARADISE
Poem and Paintings by Sara Drought Nebel

There is something magical about the off season at beaches, lakes, wooded trails and huge open fields. The natural stories are much more subtle, in the autumn and winter months and the early spring. Acorn caps, turning leaves, skulls, shells, tree seeds, scrambling squirrels tell stories of animals and trees preparing for hibernation, the survival of winter and awakening in spring. This is the time I love to walk, paint, write and just observe. |

A Winter Fantasy Out on the Cape, an artist furlough off to the windswept town of Truro! A small beach house on a dune a winter-light afternoon - other shacks are in sight, but far away, with flickering lights. Warm wood floor, rugs, and a little T.V. cute kitchen, food, an old movie coffee, red wine, candles, white socks worn sneakers for walking stone hearth, wood box. A crooked rustic broom for sweeping sand leans against the stone like an elderly hand -upstairs- Big bed, soft blankets, fluffy pillows with seams worn sweatshirts and jeans hang from hooks on old beams. An easel, French doors, a small balcony overlooking the dunes and the endless sea ... With north view skylights looking up scattered paints, wet brushes in a chipped clay cup paper, pens galore, an old wooden desk -a lovely, artistic, dream of a mess. -downstairs- After a star-lit night, waking, by chance, to first morning light on the eastern horizon, a rising, red flare just me, a big deck, and Atlantic air! Dune grass sweeps the railing stairs to wood-walk, then to beach last stair, sand buried, with my bare feet. Sipping morning coffee in my hand looking out to sea - the day, a plan- driftwood, feathers, hunting for treasure, painting shadows, finding words, just for pleasure no time, but light, day turns to night, morning, noon, twilight, dawn, telling time with no watch on. This is my winter fantasy and today I will keep it close to me. -2002 |
