Painted from the shoreline at Sandy Hook, this piece looks across the water toward Atlantic Highlands, where the historic Twin Lights rise above the tree line.
There's a sense of openness here—the wide sky, shifting clouds, and the steady line of the bridge leading the eye into the distance. Unlike the quieter, more intimate shoreline paths I often paint, this scene leans into space and perspective, capturing the feeling of standing at the water's edge and looking outward.
The Twin Lights serve as both a landmark and a quiet focal point, grounding the composition in a place that's familiar to many who know this stretch of the New Jersey coast.
