‘Microcosm’

“I thought to live on an island was like living on a boat. Islands intrigue me. You can see the perimeters of your world. It’s a microcosm.’’

— Jamie Wyeth (born 1946), American painter many of whose works are based on what he has seen on the Maine Coast, notably at Tenants Harbor and Monhegan Island. His base of operations is Tenants Harbor Light.
