1-” Beach Time” - 7”x 4.75” - Melissa’s favorite North Fork beach inspired this piece, located at the end of Kenney’s Road, where she walked daily with her sweet golden April. The depth of blue of the water provides a lovely contrast to the puffy summer clouds. Perfect gift for the beach lover.

3- “ Latimer Lighthouse”- 5” x 6.5” - Nestled close to the CT shoreline, Latimer Light is a beacon for sailors headed to Block Island and Fisher’s Island.

4- “ Louisbourg Light” - 7" x 5" - Perched on the rocky north shore of Louisbourg Harbour, Nova Scotia, this lighthouse stands as a living testament to the region’s maritime heritage.

This painting will make a sweet thank-you gift for the beach house hostess!
7- “Sailing No.3”- 5” x 7” - A sweet little sailboat gently sailed into the scene while Melissa was hanging out at the beach. She immediately knew she had to paint this charming moment. Stripes of blue and green decorated the sail, catching the light as the vessel drifted by. Sunfish lovers will appreciate this painting!
8- “A View” - 7” x 5” - Painted from the beach at Goldsmith’s Inlet in Peconic, NY. A tiny sunfish sailboat drifted into the scene, and the dark green trees provided a striking contrast to the soft sand and the muted water hues. North Fork lovers will love this little landscape!

In the distance, you can see the Watch Hill lighthouse, while Taylor Swift’s House is located on the right. The sunset is gentle, dreamy, and peaceful, creating a delicate coastal scene.
