This is a painting of Esty Street down near Hyannis Harbor. It is a Barnstable Land Trust property. A small preserved parcel between the Nantucket Sound and old bungalow cottages. This painting is of a small example of Cape Cod’s small wet lands that are often filled in by developers. The air is rife with birds and salt marsh life.
This is a project that is near to my heart. I grew up on the Cape to the sounds of hammers and bulldozers clearing lots in the most wonderful Chatham woods. But it does not matter which towns you love on the Cape, the realities of over development are abundant. Anytime the opportunity arises to save open space we must seize it. Please support the Barnstable Land Trust.
Please check out the BLT exhibition opening July 8, 2009 at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. I will be there. For more information about the art benefit please click here
