If you go to the end of Commercial Street, you can walk the huge stones of the breakwater out to the end of the cape. In winter those rocks are treacherous with ice, and when you reach the end, the sand is brittle beneath your shoes and what had been lush and dazzling in July is now barren and magnificent.
Is it conceivable to have loved that town more in winter than in summer?

Amazing, beautiful paintings from an area I may never see. Thanks for sharing it.
One: The beach is far more beautiful in the winter than the summer. The severity of the environment is revealed. You never see this in southern latitudes, only in the North.
Two: those paintings are absolutely stunning. I can feel the cold wind and the weak winter sun.
I too love P'town in the winter, and I am hoping to head out there for a day trip to see friends and just take in the town without tripping over tourists. You really do get to see what the town and what the beach look like. It's magnificent and so are your paintings.
I think winter is a master carver, poet and painter and storyteller. It possesses its own symmetry and its own unique beauty. It makes you pause ... breathe more quietly.
I especially like the second painting ... the rocks, the sky, the cold sand. I've been there ... not to P'town, but to another place which wears its winter dress in a similar fashion.

I've been to Ptown twice-- once in the summer and once in the winter. I much preferred that latter.
Beautiful paintings, no matter the season.
I've only been on the cape in winter, and somehow, never visited Provincetown at all.
I hope to remedy that this summer.
though i love the bleak winter scape, i can't wait for august.
i'm just a peasant.
