After painting "Pop and Mae Bell", I still framed another clip of those home movies and captured a favorite 50's era beach scene. This was a time when Nags Head was nothing but a bridgeless sandbar with a few cottages scattered about here and there. With no telephones, televisions, or air conditioning and only a handful of restaurants, the few people who were on the beach often assembled on someone's back porch to entertain themselves. When rainy or windy weather prohibited normal daily beach activities, these porch parties began at an early hour often leaving the participants feeling mighty good before the sun even thought about going down - what I've always heard of as a whiskey front.
