Montauk Beach Path II
The other series that I am currently working on is the Montauk Series. These are pieces that I have been waiting patiently to execute for about a decade. Montauk, NY - which is the tip of Long Island - is one of those places on earth that seems to stay the same throughout time. Beaches and dunes are eroding all over the earth, but even so, the essence of Montauk beauty is untouched. These particular scenes that I am currently painting are views that have been etched into my memory from summers when I was a child up to the present day.
I would walk down the narrow dirt path in anticipation of coming in contact with the majestic ocean. My heart would skip a few beats in excitement. And the walk always seemed really long. I was enveloped in a warm, quiet, still portal awaiting freedom at the end of the path.
And then when I got to the end, I would breathe in a big gust of salty sea air and look out at the magnificent blue vastness. It instantly made my spirit happy. And it still does.
