New London Ferry to Orient Point

Donna and I are on our way to East Hampton, NY. Our main purpose of this trip besides just traveling some more and getting away - is to visit Jackson Pollock’s home and studio.

Last October we visited there and created our own drip paintings on the grass in front of his studio. Paul has loved Pollocks’ art since high school. The October visit was a spiritual pilgrimage for him.

When we returned home, Donna asked if I felt like our paintings were done. At the time I said yes. But, since reading biographies about Pollock and viewing more of his art - Nah! They are not done.

So, a couple of months ago I planned this weekend’s adventure. We packed the canvases in the car, booked an airBNB near his home, and we are on our way.

Also, this is a good prep trip for packing light for our next upcoming travels to Europe. Paul is testing socks, underwear, and bringing minimal art supplies. So, this is a dry run for Europe.

We have about an hour and a half to get to Orient Point. The ferry is smooth. It’s a lovely clear day in September.

Please follow along - I will do my best to share with you this adventure.

Donna is hoping that we finish our paintings this trip - she is not into annual trips. But, you never know???????Read more
