Turtle Island in Late Spring
The eastern coast of Long Island is populated by clusters of cedar trees that provide structure and color to the overall deciduous environment in winter and early spring. I've begun painting them and exploring the way they punctuate this landscape that I have loved since my childhood. Pictured here is Turtle Island, the magical isle I would swim out to in summer. I can remember exploring it in my wet bathing suit with bare feet hopping over rocks and shells, always in search of something. The victory of an abandoned bird's nest, or a dried clutch of wildflowers meant swimming back with the treasure held high above the water. They were my most favorite days, and so imagine the joy I had painting this place over 50 years later.

Single Cedar
Click Here to Bid
I took my easel out for a walk today. It has been a while. I won't bore you with the details... Anyway, I ended up in an old cemetery in Sag Harbor. It is so old that several soldiers who died in the American Revolution are buried there. Perched atop one of the hills on the cemetery grounds, stands this sole sentinel... a single cedar. I had to paint it.

Big Cedar
I am really trying to get comfortable painting out of doors. I've decided to set myself up for success by keeping it simple and starting in my own backyard. This beautiful cedar tree is my latest inspiration.
