It meant I lost the option of painting beach scenes from the front seat of my car. They remained closed until May 24. A total of 54 days. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne year later, March, 2021, I found myself sitting in my car in a beach parking lot, painting and wondering \"why didn't I do this more often last year?\" Then I remembered.

So on April 1, 2021, I began a series of 54 paintings of the Falmouth beaches. My personal commitment was to complete the paintings in 54 days, one a day, every day, by May 24. You hold in your hands the result of that commitment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this new expanded version, I include The Other 46, the paintings completed in the 46 days following the completion of the 54 project.
