Summer Beach Fun

This piece was inspired by a summer day spent at Robert Moses State Park. The Fire Island lighthouse is in the background. There were so many children playing in the sand and having such a good time. What are your memories of visiting the beach as a child?

Sandpipers

As fall approaches, I'm thinking about the sunny days spent at the beach this summer! On one trip to Robert Moses State Park, I was captivated by the sandpipers darting up and down the beach. With their stick-like legs, they would race toward the waves, presumably looking for food, and then scurry away as the wave crashed against the sand. Somehow they managed to escape a thorough soaking!

Summer by the Ocean

Somehow it doesn't quite feel like summer without a trip to the beach! Of course, it would be even better to live by the ocean. Here I created a home with picturesque views of the ocean ... and refreshing watermelon for visitors!

Summer's Bounty

I really enjoyed creating this piece! I wanted to showcase the bounty of fruits and vegetables available in late summer. What better way then on display in a modern, sun-drenched apartment!

Goldfish

At the pond in Central Park near 103rd street, I often see goldfish swimming. When the water is relatively clear, it is fun to watch the fish dart around. I created this piece using gouache-painted and origami paper.
