Aw! I have some paintings in a gallery in Nantucket but I haven't visited there in person yet. I loved looking through these old photos, thanks!

Love these! Spent a summer on Nantucket a couple of years ago. Magical place. I love how it doesn't look too different to how it does in these pictures. Hoping to go back there soon :) Thanks for posting the pics.
