“There isn’t a dull moment for anyone who cares to: walk or drive, sail row or fish, play golf, tennis or croquet, billiards, pool, etc .”
“No greater physical enjoyment need be asked for than that of breathing so pure an atmosphere, looking upon so fair a landscape, and listening to the rhythmical cadences of the undulating waves. The scene is a synonym for peace, serenity and repose, its very isolation lending a kind of fairy enchantment to the picture.”
In the full sweep of Fishers Island’s history, there is no artist more synonymous, more closely associated with Fishers Island than Charles B. “Charlie” Ferguson. The main show features images from two of Charlie's sketchbooks which functioned as illustrated diaries that were filled with daily activities, nature observations, personal notes, and lots of art—drawings, sketches, and watercolors—in various states of completion.
