Art Sunday; Sally Swatland




This is my first art Sunday for a while now, sometimes life just gets in the way and other things take over. I’m hoping my life can now return to ‘normal’ or at least as normal as it ever gets and this is what I’m hoping for . A few nice, long, lazy stress-free, hot summer weeks where I can relax and actually enjoy taking the grand children for days out to the beach and such like.

SALLY SWATLAND
(b. 1946)

Memories of Summer

Sally Swatland was born in 1946 in Washington, DC and moved to Greenwich, Connecticut when she was seven. Her father was a successful attorney, which allowed her family to spend long periods in the countryside with many vacations at various seaside locations throughout the United States. She shared a passion with her family for beaches, sunshine, and fresh air. Most summer days were spent at the beach playing in tidal pools, chasing minnows, collecting shells and exploring.
