Ever since I was 15 years old, I have wanted to go to the land of Misty and Stormy of Chincoteague. For those that don't know, these were titles of books that I read as an adolescent. I was completely enamored with the stories of these little horses carving out a life on a wild barrier island.
It was all so close to me in the south western Maryland shore of the Chesapeake but it was always just beyond my physical reach.
The Chesapeake Bay is a pretty big barrier. Ticking off a bucket list item was the original plan but upon arrival on Assateague for the first time in May of 2015, I fell in love with the charm and beauty of this wild place. 
Next spring, I will be spending 3 days in the back country painting the wild denizens of this beautiful barrier island. I can hardly wait to return to see all of the wonderful and wild creatures that are beginning to seem like amusing old friends.
