Casey Chalem Anderson “On the Line” 4 feet x 6 feet oil on canvas
An isthmus of glistening white sand is made even more beautiful by its stark vulnerability. Note the determined and exquisitely fragile trees attempting to stand their ground. A strip of land clearly delineates the wide sky above and the soft blue water beneath. As a viewer you can breathe in all that space and just unwind.
This is a six foot oil painting of a Peconic Land Trust conserved property on Long Island’s North Fork called Dam Pond. Each year it changes slightly as the tides and the wind chisel away at the sand. The foliage changes along with the season and right now flaunts a luscious range of jade, lime and olive cheap ambien generic green. This place is beautiful in every season and always different. We are very lucky that it was protected and saved from development. It came close.

Until next time,
Casey
