About the Book

Jones Beach Island

Jones Beach Island is one of the outer barrier islands off the southern coast of Long Island in the U.S. state of New York. It is named for Major Thomas Jones, who first came to Long Island in 1692, where he proceeded to build the island's first brick house near Massapequa. Jones built a whaling station on Jones Island near the present site of Jones Beach State Park in 1700.[1] Jones Beach Island is sometimes referred to as Oak Beach Island and is the former home of the infamous Oak Beach Inn.[2]

Geography
Jones Beach Island is separated from Long Island by Great South Bay, Jones Inlet and Fire Island Inlet. Because of the ephemeral nature of the various inlets, the name "Fire Island" is sometimes used to refer collectively to the various barrier islands off the south shore of Long Island, but also refers specifically to the island across the Fire Island Inlet to the east. Jones Beach Island straddles the county line between Nassau and Suffolk counties and includes the census-designated places of Gilgo and Oak Beach–Captree, New York.

The southern side of the island is known for its beaches that face the open Atlantic Ocean. The best known of the public beaches on the island,Jones Beach State Park on the western tip of the island, is a summer recreational destination for the New York City area.

"These are original works of art that I have signed on the front, sealed, dated and represent a Ltd.Edition Series of 20, with Artist AP. These paintings have been printed on Archival quality textured paper including Hahnemühle William Turner, Washi style and Kozo paper. The papers have been created from natural fibers like Cotton, Mulberry and Hemp for superb preservation. The ""cloud dragon paper"" ,Kozo Paper and Hahnemühle William Turner,are warm, white, environmentally friendly and acid free. I am passionate about scenic painting and the creative process. My work is influenced by the subtle nuances of light and texture that can be found in nature. I am inspired by the endless movement of water, wind, sunlight, reflections and shadows ....evolving textures …and all that comes with the gorgeous, vibrant colors of nature…particularly the light from the rising and setting sun...."
