‘A Nantucket Bouquet’ 8×10 pastel ©2012 Karen Margulis
I have Nantucket sand in my shoes. My Grandfather was born and raised on Nantucket Island. A few years ago I did our family genealogy and discovered we go back to the founding fathers of the island. I also discovered a treasure….an unknown cousin who has lived on Nantucket all of his life and along with his father built many of the island homes. I have been to visit him a couple of times and hope to go back.
Nantucket is the most beautiful and inspiring place just full of magical landscapes. Nantucket has it all….beautiful beaches both wild and tame, harbors full of colorful boats, lighthouses, a wonderful town that takes you right back to the 1700′s…cobblestone streets, gas lights and window boxes filled with flowers. But that is not all…the interior of the island has magical moors and meadows filled with wilflowers, misty marshes, ponds filled with waterlilies. Not to mention the birds and other wildlife. I could spend an entire summer soaking up and painting the beauty of this island. To see more Nantucket paintings please visit my daily painting blog HERE
Wow Nantucket I love that place although never been. I had a girlfriend who lived there told me all about the place, the whales the beaches the laid back life. Wonder if you know the family?
