Richard Powers Painting

I have had an alert for the sale of one of his prints or paintings and one finally […]

Ryder Beach, Truro

One of the things that my brother and I do on vacation is get lost. We traveled last Saturday up to Wellfleet where we had lunch and enjoyed a harbor festival. We then went looking for a beach near Welfleet that my brother and his girlfriend went to many years ago and we got lost. […]
