Thank you, Bertha

Hurricane Bertha (later to become tropical storm) sent a solid week’s worth of swell our way in the Northeast. The peak in our neck of the woods in New England was on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Solid chest to shoulder high waves with maybe some plus peaks, and super clean. Unheard of for this time of year around here! A rare gift indeed.

As far as this painting goes, I snapped it at a gallery in Soho last winter at some point; I’ve forgotten who the artist is. I believe it’s a young Japanese transplant though.
