Dinner at The Chanticleer

Inspired by that moment when roses are in first blush and hydrangeas are colored in perfect blues, lavenders and pinks - when summer seems to stretch out endlessly ahead of us.

We were lucky enough to spend some time on Nantucket at this very moment last June, and I wish those days could have lasted forever – or at least that I could bottle them up and uncork them on bleak January days or gray and rainy March afternoons.

Nantucket is always the essence of summer to me – hydrangeas on the North Wharf, roses climbing over ‘Sconset rooftops, bike rides and beach walks, rosé and lobster rolls. Capturing them in paint is my way of making summer last well beyond a date in the calendar. My hope is that they make the season’s most beautiful memories last for you.
