ART OF AUGUST
Isn’t everyday a holiday at the beach? American Impressionist Edward H. Potthast must have spent countless hours along the sea near his home in New York City. Whether Coney Island, Brighton Beach or Long Island, his paintings resonate with the joy of living, particularly the world of children absorbed in the freedom and fun of play.
