I am incredibly grateful for having discovered this passion for art. Of all the artists whose work I enjoy (and the list keeps growing, a little overwhelmingly!), none evokes that gratitude more than Stow Wengenroth. Born and raised in Brooklyn, living in Long Island for many years, he moved to Rockport (one of the most beautiful places I know) 4 years before his death in 1978. Today’s print, Moonlight, shows two boats grounded at nighttime low tide in the harbor at Rockport. Look at the quality of the moonlight–it’s a glow! Look at the shadow cast by the boat in the foreground. Simple and so beautiful!
