What a special place. Weekdays and the beach is empty of all the boats that usually are anchored here. This strip of beach will soon be a memory as beach erosion is causing the pines and fence to fall into the river.
With patriotic bunting, blue hydrangea and a shingle style house, this could be any New England seaside street in Nantucket, Narragansett, Watch Hill or Chatham.
This was one of the hardest paintings I’ve ever created. I researched clothing in old paintings and movies to accurately make this 1890’s sepia beach day come alive.
