We have just received the following sighting from Nantucket Island, from a painter named Zach Mayberry:

I came up to Nantucket for the summer before my first real gallery show this fall.Last week I was painting the dunes near Tom Nevers Head. I wasn芒鈧劉t really concentrating on what was coming out. The first pass is often more of an impression-piece. I like to get the feel of the place first.When I got home I put the canvas away, to give the work some space before I come back, build on it, make adjustments.It wasn芒鈧劉t until this morning that I pulled the piece out for a fresh look and you芒鈧劉ll never guess what I saw there amid the drifting dunes and rolls of the sea behind them. There was a splash of wild bright green that could only be Habeas Corpus! Maybe he came to that side of the island looking for some peace and quiet. He was a little blurry, my work is often more emotion than shape芒鈧漛ut you can definitely make him out.I know, it芒鈧劉s strange for me too! But I won芒鈧劉t be painting it over, and I may even do a few more just about him. Maybe I芒鈧劉ll call this first piece 芒鈧揟he Omnipresent H.C.芒鈧
