Front Street Terrace

Walking down Front Street in Sconset on Nantucket, you’re walking among some of the most beautiful gardens in the American Northeast. The garden captured in this piece — in the heart of an historic fishing village of cottages and gardens overlooking the ocean on the island’s east side — represents more than just the terrace in view. It’s a nod to how the local community on Nantucket values the garden as part of their culture, history, ambience, and way of life – so much so, they’re governed. Gardens in this area need to be pre-approved and are closely monitored. Lovely attempted with this broad stroke, bold movement, gently abstract piece, a voyeuristic viewing of a small window of this horticultural heart.
