Description
Sunset at Watch Hill Carousel – Oil Painting
This oil painting was inspired by a quiet moment at the Watch Hill Carousel, just as the day was winding down. After spending time at East Beach, I wandered back toward the village and caught this scene—the last light of the sun settling over the carousel and the surrounding shoreline.
What drew me in wasn’t just the subject, but the contrast. The movement and nostalgia of the carousel against the stillness of the evening light. The distant glow along the Connecticut shoreline, with Napa Tree Point in the foreground, created a layered coastal landscape that felt both peaceful and full of memory.
The Watch Hill area has long been a destination for families, with its small shops, beach paths, and the well-known Flying Horse Carousel at its center. If you’ve ever been there, you’ll recognize that unique end-of-day feeling—the light softening, the beaches thinning, and the landscape settling into a quiet glow.

This painting captures that transition—when the energy of the day fades and the coastline takes on a golden, reflective calm.
