BY HEATHER BUCHANAN
There is a human desire to capture the flower’s bloom at its fullest glory, the fleeting moment before it starts to fade, the allure not its perfection but its authentic expression of itself. Fine artist Edwina Lucas, luckily, comes to the rescue to capture this essence in her gorgeous oil paintings. Reminiscent of the Dutch Masters but with a wonderful fresh and vibrant take, she infuses her personal energy and appreciation of the life cycle to capture this vitality on her canvases.
Lucas states, “My work is about being awake. It is about living life with your eyes wide open. It is about noticing everything; from the way the sunlight hits a houseplant to the way an ocean wave can bring you to your knees.”
With both a grandmother and mother who are avid gardeners, Lucas says, “I grew up around flowers. It was important to our family to surround ourselves with beautiful things, and
I think that’s somehow in me.” Edwina learned that her mother’s skill in curating her garden was not only for its beauty, “She is always curating it and composing it with the idea of painting it in her mind.” In a world of East End landscaping of boxwoods and hydrangeas, this sort of lush garden is most appealing.
Edwina had early support from her mother, Maryann Lucas, an accomplished artist as well. “When I was going to college to study my mother said, ‘Follow your dream. It’s not going to go away. Best to fuel it and feed it with an education and immersion.’” The lovely duo still shares a studio to create their artwork. For Edwina, it is ultimately a gut reaction to pick and immortalize her floral subjects, “There can be stunning flowers but they’re not going to make a great painting because no one is going to believe them. I love a meaty, droopy rose.”
Her training and education including time spent in Florence gives her a solid foundation yet room to experiment, “I think you have to learn the rules then kind of forget them.” If you look closely at her paintings, you see her masterfully controlling foreground and background, “The drama is in what’s lost and found.”
While she enjoys the controlled setting of her spacious studio, Lucas also explores the experience of en plein air painting which presents its own challenges. She sees a kindred spirit in her husband who is a surfer, “There are a lot of similarities,” she
explains, “With both plein air painters and surfers you are a slave to nature. The conditions have to be right, but when the stars align it is magical to co-creature with nature.” Her work reflects both when the universe is her stylist and when she consciously picks and positions her floral subjects as sculpture.
An aficionado of oil painting, Lucas know the pros and cons of this medium, “Oil is magnificent in its ability to be built up or taken down. The surface is remarkable and has a silkiness to it. The con is it’s expensive but I’d rather spend the money on that then another shirt,” she adds with a smile.
Lucas has exhibited at The Grenning Gallery, M & M Fine Art and Ille Arts as well as finding buyers on Instagram. After all, who would not want to live with all this natural beauty. Ultimately there is art you can appreciate and art you actually want to live with. The art of Edwina Lucas is art you definitely want to live with.

12 Acre North Fork Soundfront Permits In Place On Each 6 Acre Lot
North Fork | East Marion. You remember the feeling. You’re on holiday on the coast of some Caribbean isle or on the cliff of a European town overlooking the Mediterranean. Each morning when your head leaves the pillow you know you are on vacation with broad expanses of water dotted with boats and vistas of other shores. Much closer to home, only 100 miles from Manhattan, you can recreate that feeling each and every day when you develop this very private, nearly 12 acre waterfront, meadow-like parcel composed of two 5.7 acres lots spanning 350’ along the North Fork’s Long Island Sound. With all permitting work done on each lot, a savvy buyer would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of waiting to begin construction of a significant house, waterside pool, tennis court and even a guest house for those who would undoubtedly flock to help you enjoy your grand, new estate. The low, but stable bluff, provides easy access down a gentle pebbled path to the beach from where you’ll enjoy an abundance of aquatic activities while conversation and laughter will resound around the inevitable nighttime beach fires. The property affords ample opportunity to create your own vineyard, apple orchard or a field of wildflowers through which your driveway will meander right to your front door. Only a few miles from both the ferries of Greenport and Orient Point, this well positioned property provides easy access to everything that has made the North Fork the new sought after destination. At night, go into town for dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Shelter Island or head to one of the many vineyards for a wine tasting. But on clear evenings, eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear somewhere into the Sound leaving the horizon a purplish haze. Best of all, you won’t need a passport, a pat down or a plane ticket. Just get in your car and head East. When you get there, you’ll know...and remember.

A North Fork gift guide for foodies.
BY HANNAH SELINGER
Your favorite foodie friend may already have that wooden-bowled KitchenAid mixer that everyone can’t stop talking about. Linens? She probably has a whole drawer full. So what can you gift to the superstar cook who seems like she has it all handled? The answer, of course, is the gift of food. With endless shops, farmstands, and artisanal spots to choose from, the North Fork is a destination just brimming with options when it comes to food-centric gift-giving. From curated gift baskets to cheese platters with verve to jams and jellies made from produce grown right in our own backyard, we’ve selected some of our very favorite. This year, give the gift of a taste of the North Fork.
At About Food, in Southold, the holidays are a time for gifting — gifting baskets, that is. Shop owner GP Lane is happy to arrange a bespoke, food-centric basket of beloved items that will suit the fancy of anyone in your foodie circle, full of the best and brightest ingredients (think hot sauces, artisanal candies, beautifully crafted kitchen tools,
pastas, and so much more). Allow the store to experiment or offer your own personalized touch. It’s really up to you, your taste, and how far you want to take your culinary vision.
Looking for an ideal edible confection for the sweet-lover in your life? At the North Fork Chocolate Company, now with locations in Aquebogue and Mattituck, there is a gift for practically everyone in your orbit. The chocolatier makes nine- to 50-piece gift boxes; various types of chocolate bark; wrapped chocolate bars; chocolate-cloaked fruit; and even a limited selection of baked goods. For the chocolate-obsessed, it’s Paradise Found. Stock up on stocking stuffers, artisanal gifts, and maybe even a little something for your own larder. A little chocolate — or, in this case, a lot of chocolate — goes a long way toward holiday happiness.
Fourth-generation farmer Kevin Polack runs Southold’s Country View Farmstand with his wife, Donna; the 15 acres of land makes for plenty of space for produce, beekeeping, and
much else. Even in the shoulder season, foodies can find local honey, jams and jellies, cheeses, and even pound cakes. The farm closes for the season right around Thanksgiving, so make sure to stock up on everything you need for gift-giving before it’s too late. Perishable foods can make a guest appearance on your holiday table, and canned and jarred goods are ideal for compiling into your very own beautiful farmgrown gift basket. ‘Tis the season, after all.
For a taste of the most gourmet, visit Mattituck stalwart, The Village Cheese Shop
This decades-old North Fork institution offers some of the finest foods around. For those in need of the kind of gift that will be eaten and appreciated post-haste, there simply is no other place. With over 150 international cheeses; osetra, platinum, and golden caviars; and an unparalleled selection of cured meats, the Village Cheese Shop has it all. And, if you’re looking for a uniquely curated platter to bring to your favorite food lover, they can even do that, too.
