Long Island Watercolor I

Name/Title

Long Island Watercolor I

Description

Likely rendered from life en plein air, Segal captures the quickly moving skies of coastal New York. His home on Fire Island served as a second studio, as did his country house in Chester, New Jersey. Segal delighted in painting the world around him, being still, observing, reaching for the ineffable in all he saw. This painting, watercolor, shows a straight view perspective towards the sea. The dunes forming perspective sight lines to guide us to its ultimate destination, the water's edge.
