Pure Inspiration

Pure Inspiration
Photograph by Amy Toensing

The dreamlike haze of dawn has brushed the Josiah Starling house on Monhegan Island for more than 200 years. This isolated community inspired artists Edward Hopper and Jamie Wyeth to cross the 12 miles (19 kilometers) of open ocean that separates Monhegan from mainland Maine in hopes of capturing its quiet, weathered beauty.
