Nantucket Island Beach Roses

'Nantucket Beach Roses' 7x5 pastel

This is a scene at Surfside Beach on Nantucket. The bluffs were covered with wonderfully fragrant beach roses and daisies. The water and sky were a brilliant shade of blue. I was in heaven. Our trip to Nantucket was made even more special because we were able to spend time with family we had never met....and they were wonderful! They were both born and raised on the island so we had a true insider's tour. I have discovered that our family can trace it's roots back to the first settlers of Nantucket. Is that why I am so drawn to the sea?
