"Infinite Sky at the Edge" by Casey Chalem Anderson 48 x 36 inches oil/canvas I felt cornered like an animal captured in a trap. I couldn’t move my hand normally. My left hand, my painting hand, felt like a paw with no dexterity whatsoever. Everything I clung to about...

I've been seriously pondering this whole beach thing since I moved to the Hamptons 30 years ago. At first, I only thought about it for my own sake. Trying to make sense of why I crave looking at the water and why my car just seems to drive itself down to the sea. But...

I was anxious. Leading up to the launch day, I kept asking, well, what do I wear? Seriously, I had to know how to dress for practical reasons but also so I could picture myself out on the water in a kayak. I’ve made a lifetime career out of painting the water with my...

The first time I saw this glorious flower field was one of those perfect warm and sunny days. I was taking a drive down Town Line Road, and from the corner of my eye, I saw a burst of color. Immediately I made a 180 turn and parked. The sweet and earthy scent of...

I couldn't wait a moment longer. When the newly finished wood floors were dry, I removed my shoes at the door and entered in socks only. In a glance, I devoured the entire living room; the place looked fantastic. It was spare, open, soft, and gentle, exactly how I had...
