What does summer vacation mean to you? Yes, I am already fantasizing about summer. With spring break just gone by it seems that it is a sprint to the finish for my school age kids. Yesterday’s teasingly warm weather also tickled my imagination and my mind traveled to summer vacations and long lazy days. When I think of my vacation I think not only of the warm sandy beaches, but also of the simpler pleasures of picking out fresh fruit and produce and buying fresh fish for dinner.
Painting of Cape Cod pictures Hatch’s Fish Market
The three watercolor paintings featured in this blog post depict the charming beach town of Wellfleet in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This trio of paintings highlights those simpler pleasures of summer. Where fresh local produce is around the corner and you can get the most succulent peaches. When my family goes to Wellfleet in Cape Cod at the end of the summer we love shopping at Hatch’s Fish Market and also at Wellfleet Market.
Hatch’s Fish Market is in the center of Wellfleet and a must stop for any beach goer to pick up fresh fish and produce to cook up at the end of a sun burnt day enjoying the beaches of Cape Cod. In Hatch’s Market a mother and son are walking from the market in their casual beach clothes, the little boy topless in a bathing suit and flip flops as he enjoys a juicy peach with the nectar juice running down his fingers. This painting of Cape Cod also includes the parking lot filled with tourist cars that have their bikes on the back– I am sure you remember going on vacation and taking long lazy bike rides and then ending the day with an ice cream or fish fry. A special artistic element of this original painting are the abstract depiction of the trees and foliage in the background of the watercolor landscape.
In Fresh Produce, the abstract landscape art includes the street scene with the colorful umbrellas and shoppers in casual beach clothes. The third painting in the series pictures Wellfleet Market which is in the center of this picturesque beach town and serves as a fresh food market, butcher, baker and general store. The abstract landscape art includes the street scene with the red and white striped awning, and shoppers in casual beach clothes. You will love this original art!

I'm dreaming of a very relaxing summer with simple pleasures as reading, making photographs, visiting new places, swimming, eating outside and more important taking the time to enjoy every moment.
Very beautiful paintings indeed. I can feel the summer mood already, even though I just came home pretty forzen 🙂 I look forward to sitting in the sun on a caffee terasse having ice cream. Thank you for including my little paper boat photo in your treasury.
The simple summer pleasures I am most looking forward to include water and sunshine, much like your "Pleasure Beach" treasury of beautiful summer items. My friend has a pool that is so relaxing to float around in and chat with friends!
I inspire art-lovers to reconnect with their creativity and profit from their art. Whether you paint simply for the joy of it or you’re serious about selling your work, and you’re ready to stop putting yourself on the back burner...You're in the right place. I've done it and I can inspire YOU how to do it too.
