Anyone who has stepped off the ferry onto Monhegan Island knows that it holds a specific kind of magic—a quiet, timeless nostalgia that stays with you  long after you leave its rocky shores. It is a rare sanctuary ten miles out to sea, where the world slows down to the sound  of breaking waves, the chatter of birdwatchers spotting migratory species along the cliffs, and view of painters painting along the shore.  

This modern, bright painting serves as a vivid memory for that  feeling, of  nostalgia for  the island into high-keyed, vibrant colors. Rather than relying on muted, historic tones, the canvas brings Monhegan into the contemporary present, utilizing its most symbolic and iconic landmarks to tell the story of the place.
