"Dawn is the best time in Provincetown. it's usually calm with hardly any wind. You can almost hear the fish swimming in the bay. Only a few people are around and they know not to come up to you when youre painting. Another time of the day, maybe they would, and you'd welcome them, but dawn is for me and no one else. When I first set up my easel, I can hardly see the canvas and colors. I start to painting. When my eyes are squinting from the bright light coming across the bay, it's over. Time to go to breakfast." - Joanette Egeli
