Monhegan Island always feels like a journey — one I make every few years, drawn back by its timeless, almost sacred pull. It’s easy to understand why great American artists like Rockwell Kent and Edward Hopper were captivated here. The island holds a quiet majesty that never fails to leave me breathless.
This 24x30 oil painting is part of a series I’ve been working on for several years, exploring the rugged beauty of “Blackhead.” One day, as I made my way through the dense forest, I suddenly emerged into a small clearing—and was confronted by a scene so magnificent it felt almost otherworldly. The sea crashed with relentless power against the defiant coastline, while the horizon seemed to melt seamlessly into the vast sky above. It was a moment heavy with grandeur and raw, unyielding strength.
I immediately set up my watercolors to capture this extraordinary sight, hoping to hold onto even a fraction of its awe. That initial study grew into this larger painting, an attempt to honor the breathtaking majesty of the world around us.
I am humbled, inspired, and in awe of creation’s power and grace. This painting is for those who share a deep respect for nature’s grandeur and the resilient spirit that lives within it.
